Datathe National School Health Survey for 2015 were analyzed, and the prevalence of physical aggression per family was calculated according to four blocks.

The variables associated with the model in the socio-demographic block were: female, black, yellow, brown race, mothers with no higher educational level, adolescent workers (OR 2.10 CI 95% 1.78-2.47). In the family context, they remained associated with aggression, lack of parents “understanding” (OR 1.71 CI95% 1.63 -1.80) and their intrusion into adolescent’s privacy (OR 1.80 CI95% 1.70 -1, 91). Report of missing school (OR1.43 CI95% 1.36-1.50). Among the behaviors: smoking (OR 1.23 CI95% 1.12-1.34), alcohol (OR 1.49 CI95% 1.41-1.57), drug experience (OR 1.24 CI95% 1, 15-1,33), early sexual intercourse (OR 1.40 CI95% 1.33 -1.48), reports of loneliness, insomnia and bullying (ORa 2.14 CI95% 2.00-2.30).
