The existence of one or more risk factors leads to a tendency of social exclusion of the people, contributes to the forming of risk groups of disadvantaged people, children or families needing a social aid. They lack behavioral models to follow and they are often engaged in activities improper for their age (cares for younger children, home maintenance, work, premature marriage and pregnancy etc.) Practice in prevention complex services on municipal level is effective regarding early reaction and prevention of problems in their starting point.
