IntroductionSuicide is one of the leading causes of death, with a trend for its increase in Brazil in past decades. This study aimed to review the characteristics of suicides in Brazilian postmortem studies.MethodsStudies investigating suicide deaths in Brazil, and based on autopsy or psychological autopsy were included. Proportions were pooled across studies with the use of random and fixed effects models.Results6777 references were retrieved from six databases (searches up to January, 2023), and 45 studies included. In autopsy studies (k = 37, n = 16,231), substance use at toxicological analysis was found in 36.42% of cases (95% CI: 30.05–43.32), previous suicide attempts in 23.92% (95% CI: 6.73–57.78). In psychological autopsy studies (k = 8, n = 139), previous suicide attempts were reported in 28.09% (95% CI: 19.74–38.28), psychiatric conditions/symptoms in 90.67% (95% CI: 67.79–97.82), family history of suicidality in 21.33% (95% CI: 13.5–32.03). Most suicide deaths were reported in males and took place at the victim's home, hanging was the most frequent suicide method. Included studies presented significant limitations in quality assessment.ConclusionFuture studies should present more robust methodology, including bigger samples, the use of controls, and validated methodology.

“…1,2 A duração da adolescência é variável consoante cada indivíduo e sociedade, iniciando-se com os primeiros sinais de maturação pubertária e estendendo-se além das alterações físicas, incluindo a transição social para a vida adulta. 3 Tem-se verificado um aumento exponencial da patologia do foro mental na população pediátrica, em particular na adolescência, [3][4][5] como verificado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), que em 2017 reportou que 50% de todas as perturbações mentais se instalam até aos 14 anos de idade e que 75% se instalam até aos 18 anos de idade. 6 Isto tem um grande impacto no desenvolvimento, já que é nesta fase que se cria a estrutura e identidade de cada indivíduo, que se interliga inevitavelmente ao seu bem-estar e sucesso futuros.…”

INTRODUÇÃO: A escala HEADS-ED (Home; Education; Activities and Peers; Drugs and Alcohol; Suicidality; Emotions, Behaviors and Thought Disturbance; Discharge Resource) foi criada no Canadá, para detetar patologia mental no serviço de urgência pediátrica. Em Portugal não existe, ainda, uma escala validada com este intuito. O objetivo foi disponibilizar um instrumento português para triagem dos problemas psicológicos, comportamentais e sociais dos adolescentes.MÉTODOS: Estudo prospetivo, transversal, não randomizado, desenvolvido na enfermaria de pediatria de um hospital nível II. Decorreu em 4 fases: 1) Tradução e adaptação para português da escala HEADS-ED; 2) Estudo piloto para validar a escala para a população portuguesa; 3) Entrevista sistemática aos adolescentes e encaminhamento especializado de acordo com as suas necessidades; 4) Análise estatística.RESULTADOS: Realizaram-se 96 entrevistas, 55% sexo feminino, idade média 15 anos, 45% com doença crónica. Treze doentes apresentaram pontuação ?5. Encaminharam-se 19,8% dos adolescentes: 6,3% para consulta de psicologia/ pedopsiquiatria, 8,3% para o NHACJR, em 5,2% otimizou-se o seguimento prévio. Verificou-se relação estatisticamente significativa entre maior idade e maior pontuação total (p-value=0,004) e entre género feminino e maior pontuação total (p-value=0,005).CONCLUSÃO: A escala HEADS-ED pretende rastrear patologia mental em adolescentes, com potencial de melhorar o seu seguimento e a qualidade de vida futura.

BackgroundBrazil is home to 50 million children and adolescents, whose mental health needs require context-sensitive research. Although scientific output is growing in the country, publications are scattered and often inaccessible. MethodsThis systematic review compiles prevalence estimates, assessment instruments, and interventions for child and adolescent mental health in Brazil (PROSPERO registration: CRD42023491393). We searched international (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Google Scholar) and national (Scielo, Lilacs, Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations) databases up to July 2024. Reference lists, reviews, and experts were consulted. Extraction followed Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) and Cochrane manuals. ResultsThis review appraises 734 studies on 2,576 prevalence estimates, 908 studies on 912 instruments, and 192 studies on 173 intervention trials. Point prevalence of any mental disorder ranged from 10.8% (age 12) to 19.9% (ages 7 to 14), although a nationally-representative study is lacking. There is a rise of self-harm notifications, reaching 133.1 in 2019 (per 100,000 aged 10-19). Indigenous youth face suicide rates of 11 (age 10 to 14), far exceeding national averages (0.652). There is severe violence exposure (21% of adolescents reported domestic physical violence in the previous month), disproportionately impacting Black youth and heightening risks for depression and substance use. Reliable instruments exist for assessing psychopathology, yet most lack psychometric and cross-cultural validation. Interventions remain under-implemented; the largest trials adapted international substance-use prevention programs, showing null effects. High-quality studies are mainly funded by public investment. DiscussionThis compilation provides accessible data for professionals, facilitating translation of science to practice. Brazilian sociocultural challenges impact youth mental health, with public health priorities including violence, systemic racism, and indigenous youth suicide. National research must develop culturally-sensitive resources for mental health, including scalable interventions focused on social minorities. FundingThe Stavros Niarchos Foundation.
