It is a quantitative, descriptive-transversal study, with a total population made up of 140 heads of household with school adolescents who answered a questionnaire on sociodemographic aspects and the instrument of total family risk. In the results, it can be observed that 62,9 % (n=88) of the heads of household have a family with low risk, 27,1 % (n=38) have threatened families and 10 % (n=14) have families with high risk.
