Results: In relation to gender, 526 (67.44%) notifications of suicide attempts are in the female and 91 (78.45%) male. Regarding race/color, there is a greater number of notifications in white people, that is, 425 (54.49%) and 66 (56.90%). The age group between 20 and 39 years old has the most records of suicide attempts 318 (40.77%) and suicide 50 (43.10%). Furthermore, in relation to the methods of perpetration and/or means of aggression most used in relation to suicide attempts, there is a greater number of records of self-harm, 666 (85.38%) and in relation to suicide, the methods with the highest number of records, hanging was 88 (75.86%).
