Abstract

Objective: to analyze the spatial and temporal pattern of mortality by suicide in Northeast Brazil
in the period 2008-2018. Method: ecological study that used data from the Mortality Information
System, Ministry of Health - Brazil. The temporal trend was assessed by the Joinpoint method.
The formation of spatial clusters of suicide was evaluated by the spatial autocorrelation function
and purely spatial Scan statistical technique. Results: most deaths occurred among male (79.5%),
brown (76.8%), single (59.2%), 20 to 49 years old (61.7%) individuals. Statistically significant growth
of suicide was observed in six of the nine northeastern states (p<0.05). According to the spatial
autocorrelation function and Scan statistics, the spatial clusters of deaths were located predominantly
in Piauí and Ceará. Conclusion: the findings reinforce the need to direct strategies for prevention of
the grievance to the municipalities with the highest occurrence.
