Results: The results indicate that more than half the participants are nuclear families (85%), with predominance of endangered families (59%) and at high risk (27%), influenced mainly by the subcategories of economic situation (46% in high risk and 54% threatened) and health services and practices (31% high risk and 69% threatened), management of children (17% in high risk and 83% threatened) housing and neighborhood (15% in high risk and endangered 85%) and psychological environment (10% in high risk and 90% threatened).
