RESUMEN

Suicide is the leading cause of avoidable death worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that the death by suicide will account for 1.8% of the global mortality rate. Furthermore for every completed suicide, there are 20 suicide attempts; for each person killed in a fatal accident, 1.9 people commit a suicide attempt; there are 11.7 suicides per homicide, and there are 68.1 suicides per death due to gender violence. Furthermore, suicide is one of the leading causes of death among young people (both genders). The number of adolescent’s deaths that result from suicide has been increasing dramatically, with evidence suggesting that suicide accounts for 7.3% of all deaths in the 15-19 years age group globally. The negative impact of suicide for societies is unquestionable, and therefore, its prevention is an emerging priority for public health systems.
