N2 - Introduction: Suicidal behavior is the spectrum of events that may or may not lead to suicide, approximately 1 person commits suicide every 40 seconds worldwide. Understanding the clinical and sociodemographic profile of this behavior is vital to generate anticipatory routes or other preventive measures by health care providers. Objectives: Identify the clinical and social profile of the population with suicidal behavior and estimate the frequency of the event in two primary care medical centers. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study based on SISVECOS notification records completed at two medical centers of Javesalud in Bogotá. Absolute and relative frequencies or measures of central tendency and dispersion were used depending on the nature of the variables; frequency was estimated based on the population annually assigned to the medical centers. Data collection and protection were conducted in REDCap and statistical analysis in STATA 18. Results: A total of 103 records were identified, 28 at medical center No.1 and 75 at medical center No.2. Of these, 71 cases were women and 15 events were classified as suicide attempts. The year 2022 had the highest number of cases reported (8) and the highest incidence rate (8.9/100,000). Conclusion: This study provides the risk profile of suicidal behavior and estimates the frequency of the event in a primary care setting.
