RIVERA, José Luis Manzanares. Suicide mortality phenomenon in México: territorial patterns based on 20 years of information. Estudios Socioterritoriales [online]. 2020, vol.28, pp.59-59. ISSN 1853-4392.  http://dx.doi.org/10.37838/unicen/est.28-059.

The purpose is to document Mexico´s temporary suicide evolution during the period 1998-2017 with a focus on Aguascalientes State. The methodology is based on exploratory data analysis using public mortality records collected by the national system for health information for two different data structures, cross section and time series. Results indicate that the States of Chihuahua and Aguascalientes are the ones with the highest mortality currently. A temporal pattern of higher monthly incidence was documented for May and June in the 20-year period studied. For its part, the analysis at the metropolitan area scale, allows to identify the Aguascalientes Metropolitan area as the one with the highest concentration, specifically affecting the population between 12 and 32 years of age.
