Uma abordagem sobre o suicídio de adolescentes e jovens no Brasil

Abstract

This essay article examines suicide among young people in Brazil on the basis of Durkheim's classical approaches as revisited in current discussions of social integration networks. It presents arguments regarding the behaviour of suicide mortality rates in the light of classical public health assumptions as to social causality in processes of health and illness. The mortality rates, updated in line with international statistics, review of data in Brazilian studies and recent series for Brazil, reveal suicide "aptitudes" by age, sex and social group. The linear and non-linear nature of the trends are treated in the context of pathways in complex social systems. Current data were prospected in the Ministry of Health'sNational Mortality Information System and World Health Organisation databases. In this policy analysis study, a conceptual outline was built up from classical theory updated to the present-day context, analysis of data relevant to the study object and observation of target groups for comprehensive, inclusive policies. The results of this analysis reveal that adolescents and young people are highly liable to growing, sustained, high-impact vulnerability to suicide.

Descriptive study of the epidemiological profile of deaths by suicide in the state of Roraima, Brazil, from 2014 to 2017

“…Suicide is also responsible for being one of the oldest themes related to individual and community health. In historical terms, it is studied with exclusion identified since Ancient Greece, today being a social phenomenon that is recurrently worked on 3 . It is a serious public health problem, victimizing one million people a year (equivalent to one suicide every 45 seconds globally) 1 .…”

“…This, in principle, could be explained by the ethnic composition of the States, according to the greater or lesser predominance of brown people, but it is also important to consider that they can corroborate the low socioeconomic power and social exclusion for the situation. In Brazil, black and brown individuals retain the lowest levels of income and education 3 , and such factors may translate into greater vulnerability to the suicidal spectrum for this portion of the population.…”
