[Children at social risk and the utilization of health services].
To investigate the association between social risk factors and access to emergency health services, 333 children, with a medium age of 39.1 months, have been recruited. 31.2% of these children had at least one social risk factor. After 12 months through a phone call we evidentiated that children with social risk showed an access to emergency services about double (relative risk factor more than double) in respect to children with no social risk factors.
