ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Suicide is a complex and multi-causal phenomenon, constituting one of the main public health problems. It is estimated that approximately 700,000 deaths occur annually worldwide, one every 40 seconds, being the fourth leading cause of death among young people. In Brazil, the situation is equally worrying, occupying the eighth position worldwide in absolute numbers, with more than 14,000 deaths in 2019 and a growing trend. In Goiás, studies have already pointed to rates higher than the national average and a 90% increase in the number of suicides between 1996 and 2015, highlighting the relevance of epidemiological investigation in the state. Objectives: To analyze the epidemiological profile of deaths by suicide in Goiás, between 2019 and 2023, according to gender, age group, race/color and education level, based on data from SIM/DATASUS.
