Abstract: Family risk is one of the probabilities in which adverse situations can occur within the family that can be witnessed during a family assessment, therefore, the research objective is to determine the total family risk of families with children under 5 years of age in a vulnerable area of ​​North Lima. It is a quantitative, descriptive-cross-sectional study, with a total population made up of 140 heads of households with children under 5 years of age who answered a questionnaire of sociodemographic aspects and the total family risk instrument. In the results, it can be observed that 62.9% (n = 88) of the heads of households have a family at low risk, 27.1% (n = 38) have threatened families and 10% (n = 14) have families at high risk. In conclusion, strengthening health professionals in terms of extramural work is very important because it allows them to identify if there is any risk that compromises the family, especially the infant, and to act accordingly.
