The quantitative research was conducted with the use of the Sense of Coherence survey form developed by American sociologist Aaron Antonovsky. To obtain a comparable study, we selected five prisoners that took part in Gnistan and five randomly selected prisoners that did not participate in Gnistan. The research results showed that support from the Gnistan group and/or other personal networks of the prisoners´ was the largest contributing factor to the decision to participate in the Gnistan Addiction Activities.
