INCIDENCE OF ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE CONSUMPTION AMONG SUICIDE VICTIMS IN THE BRAZILIAN FEDERAL DISTRICT
Keywords:
Suicide, Alcohol Drinking, IncidenceAbstract
Suicide is motivated by multiple causes, and the abusive consumption of alcoholic beverages can be an important sign that individuals do not have physical and emotional control of themselves. To estimate the incidence of alcohol consumption, immediately before suicide, among people who died in 2018 in the Brazilian Federal District. This is a population-based study, of a descriptive and exploratory nature, of all deaths which occurred in the Brazilian Federal District from January 1 to December 31, 2018. Data were collected from the Mortality Information System and Police reports. The incidence and respective 95% confidence intervals were calculated. This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The incidence of alcohol consumption just before the suicide was 18.6% (CI 95%: 18.56% to 18.62%). Males, blacks, trade workers, those without a partner, young people, and individuals with less than 8 years of study had the highest indicators. There was a greater percentage of alcohol consumption in the fall/winter, at the end of the month, in rural areas, in people who had never attempted suicide before and when the modus operandi was choking or hanging. The consumption of drugs, such as methamphetamine, ecstasy, amphetamine, and cannabis, was observed together with alcoholic beverages. The results of this research signaled an important public health problem, which is the use of alcohol to potentially encourage suicide. Effective public policies to tackle the abusive consumption of alcoholic beverages and suicide are necessary.
