We analyzed 762 papers, produced between 2002 and 2011. The highest volume of works are located in health studies, with highlight to Psychology and to the studies that correlate suicide and psychopathologies. There is a great number of theoretical studies that evidence the need for increasing publications with approaches that contribute to public policies for suicide prevention and management in specific populations.
