ABSTRACT
Suicidal behavior in adolescents is a public health problem, and the role of the health system and its human resources in its prevention is relevant. The article presents partial results of a wider investigation (2013-2015 / anii). The objectives are to characterize the form of self-elimination attempt registration in a population of 14-24 years attended in public emergencies; identify sociocultural barriers of personnel that interfere in approach and record of suicidal behavior. It is a cross-sectional descriptive population study. 73 forms were completed and 211,389 Emergency records were released. The results describe the staff profile, consultation and registration of self-elimination attempts. There is a high frequency of consultations in adolescents. Of these, 1 in 100 have a suicidal behavior. The lack of training in the subject and the beliefs of the staff hinder the management and registration, and lead to underestimate possible cases of suicidal behavior. The findings confirm the importance of training.
