In Brazil, there has been a significant increase in the growth and evolution of suicides in states such as São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais. However, little attention has been paid to research on suicide in other Brazilian states, especially in the North and Northeast. Suicide in Brazil is a typical case of public health, but also a problem of economic and social order. Thus, the main objective of this article is to evaluate the determinant factors - economic, social and public health - of the suicide rate in the federal states of Brazil between the years 1980-2010. For this, Durkheim's Suicide Theory will be adopted from the statistical-econometric point of view of spatial econometrics, since it allows to evaluate the spatial dependence relation between the suicide rates of the Brazilian neighboring states. The main conclusion is that there is an association between the per capita income and the suicide rate of the Brazilian states. However, there is an inverse relationship so that if per capita income increases the tendency is to decrease suicide rate. Therefore, the increase in the number of suicide in Brazil must be understood as a public, social and, fundamentally, economic health problem.

Nas fronteiras dos impactos expansionistas do capital sobre a saúde dos povos indígenas no brasil: questões para a compreensão do suicídio
(Associação Brasileira da Rede UNIDA, 2019) ADSUARA, Carmen Hannud Carballeda; ARAÚJO, Gabriel Henrique Macedo de; OLIVEIRA, Paulo de Tarso Ribeiro de
Suicide among indigenous peoples in Brazil occupies a prominent place in the concern of several leaderships, indigenists and intellectuals. However, often the look at this phenomenon becomes detached from the social fabric that permeates the relationship between indigenous and nonindigenous society. Thus, the present article proposes to look at the available literature on suicide, based on the central assumption that it is inseparable from the contradictory process of violence and embezzlement to which they have been subjected despite the guarantee of their rights under international agreements. Thus, considering the structurehistory movement of cultures, the text addresses suicide as a collective health problem for the population and indigenous peoples in an inseparable way from the history of genocide in the context of borders, so there is a epistemic transformation caused by the penetration of territories.
