ABSTRACT
Objective. To provide updated information regarding the
12–month prevalence and associated sociodemographic factors
for suicide ideation and behavior (plan and attempts) to
substantiate preventive programs in Mexico.
Materials and
methods. Cross-sectional nationally representative survey,
conducted during 2016 (n=56 877) among those 12–65 years
old living in rural, urban and metropolitan dwellings.
Results.
The prevalence of suicide ideation in the last 12-months was
2.3%, 0.8% of the sample reported a plan and 0.7% reported
a suicide attempt. All three outcomes were about two times
more common among females and suicide plan and attempt
were less common among the elderly (50-65 years old).
Suicide attempts were more common in urban than in rural
areas. The state of Tabasco showed an increased prevalence
of ideation, plan and attempts when compared to national
average rates.
Conclusions. Public health measures to
diminish and treat suicidal behavior are urgently needed all
over the country.
