The prevailing academic index among adolescents in the previous year was 90-94, 121 adolescents (32,1 %). There was a significant correlation between the highest educational level completed by the adolescent's mother and the adolescent´s academic index in the previous year. Medium-sized and nuclear families predominated. The perception of the economic situation for both the adolescent and the mother or guardian was regular. In relation to household electrical equipment, the vast majority referred to this as having five of the six basic necessities; regarding those of second most important need at home, there was a deficit of air conditioning, microwave oven, queen pot, computer, video, freezer, water heater, telephone, and electric stove.
