Methods This is an ecological, observational, cross-sectional, retrospective study, using spatial temporal tools, based on secondary data obtained Department Informatics Unified System (DATASUS), referring 5568 Brazilian cities, emphasis 399 30 cities Regional (HR). Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis (AEDE) techniques used through GeoDA (version 1.20.0.8) QGis 3.22.4) software determine existence Autocorrelation (Moran’s Global Index or Moran I) calculation visualization Local Association Indicator (LISA). (Moran local (LISA) autocorrelation coefficients considered significant when p < 0.05 at 95% confidence level. The Space Time Cube simultaneous methodology ArcGIS Pro Software (ESRI, 2011) evaluates behavior value space over defined time interval. Results arithmetic mean by suicide, 41.1 standard deviation 13.3 median 40 years. Most occurred men 29, followed women 39 49 Regarding most common causes modes State, there no difference reference, 2020 (pandemic) global perspective. three main were: 1) Hanging, strangulation suffocation (ICD-10 X70, T71) majority accounted for more than half causes; 2) Self-harm gunshot (ICD- 10 X74 X72); 3) Self-poisoning pesticides drugs, respectively X68 X61).
