Total Family Risk in Vulnerable Families

Abstract

In Colombia, the civil war has generated family displacement, leading to experiences of social and cultural uprooting. The total Family Risk was determined in a group of 30 displaced Afro-descendant families, for which the RFT 5-33 instrument was used, with prior informed consent. The results show a predominance of nuclear families (40%), the predominance of threatened families (56%), especially in the dimensions of housing and neighborhood, socioeconomic situation, health practices and services, and psycho-affective conditions. The correlation showed that Total Family Risk has a strong correlation with health practices and services (0.888) and with the management of minors (0.86). The findings provide elements to implement family care actions in health promotion and prevention.
