Methods Systematic review in PubMed, Scopus, PsycNET, Scielo and Scholar Google. Results From an initial total of 1862 articles, 41 were included for data extraction. They include 21 from Brazil, 13 from Colombia, 2 from Chile, 1 from Peru, and 4 articles grouped from different countries. Suicide is a public health issue in many communities.
