The objective was to compare the risk factors, prevalence, and types of family violence in adolescents between a school in the Lima region and another in the Apurímac region in 2017. It was a descriptive, comparative, cross-sectional study using a survey as the instrument. The sample included 222 adolescents from Lima and 219 from Apurímac. Data were processed using the SPSS statistical program. The results showed that 74.4% in Apurímac and 66.7% in Lima were victims of family violence. Physical and sexual violence were higher in Lima (57.7% and 19.5%, respectively), while psychological violence was higher in Apurímac (58%). The main risk factors in Lima were male sex (36.9%), being in the fourth year of secondary school (29.3%), belonging to a nuclear family (36.9%), having two siblings (25.8%), being the first child (27.9%), and communication with parents (32.4%). In contrast, in Apurímac, the main risk factors were female sex (39.7%), being 15 years old (27.9%), experiencing violence in childhood (31.2%), having married parents (43.4%), and having a fair relationship with the family (40.6%). It was concluded that physical and psychological violence among adolescents were more prevalent than sexual violence. In both institutions, the shared risk factors were being 16 years old, female sex in Apurímac and male in Lima, attending the fourth year of secondary school, belonging to a nuclear family, being the first child, experiencing violence during childhood, and having a fair family relationship.
