ANTAO, Celeste et al. Suicide trends in Iberian Peninsula: 1971-2013. Revista Portuguesa de Enfermagem de Saúde Mental [online]. 2018, n.spe6, pp.-98. ISSN 1647-2160.  https://doi.org/10.19131/rpesm.0219.

BACKGROUND: Suicide is a public health problem, associated with much suffering and thousands of deaths worldwide AIM: To evaluate time-trends in suicide rates (SR) in Iberian Peninsula over four decades. METHODOLOGY: Descriptive study of trends. The SR (1971-2013) was obtained from OECD database. Annual percent change (APC) in SR and respective 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were obtained by using joinpoint regression models, stratified by gender and country. RESULTS: Among Portuguese males, SR reduced by 1.3% (95%CI: -1.8; -0.7) and by 10.3% (CI95 %: -16.0; -4.5) per year for time-periods 1971-1993 and 1993-1999, respectively. After an increasing trend (%VA=30.2; CI95%:-2.9;74.9) between 1999 and 2002, SR decreased (%VA=-1.7; IC95%:-3.2;-0.2) up to 2013 and reached 13.1/100,000.  Among Spanish men there was an increase in SR by 14% (95%CI:0.5;29.3) and 0.9% (95%CI:0.3;1.6) per year, for time-periods 1981-1984 and 1984-1997, respectively, which reverted up to 2011 (%VA=-1.7;95%CI:-2.3;-1.2). An increasing trend was observed up to 2013 when SR reached 10.8/100,000. Among Portuguese women, SR significantly increased (%VA=2.8;95%CI:1.1;4.5) up to 1984 which reverted (%VA=-5.7;95%CI:-7.0;-4.2) between 1984 and 2000. After an increasing trend up to 2003, SR significantly decreased (%VA=3.5;95%CI:- 5.9,-1.1), reaching 3.4/100,000 in 2013. Among Spanish women, SR increased (%VA=7.7;95%CI:5.5;9.8) between 1979 and 1987, which reverted up to1992 (%VA=-4.4;95%CI:-8.2;-0.4). After an upward trend between 1992 and 1996, SR decreased by 2.1% per year (95%CI:-8.2;-0.4) up to 2011, however an increasing trend (%VA=13.2 95% CI:-0.29 to 28.5) up to 2013 when SR reached 3.4/100,000. CONCLUSION: Although SR in Portugal presented a decreasing trend, results highlighted the magnitude of SR which should be addressed by stakeholders.
