Abstract:a group with diverse backgrounds and institutional affiliations, who have collaborated generously for readers to enjoy a set of texts with in-depth reflections on the theme of transformations in the territory and their implications for health policy and the context of socio-spatial inequalities in Brazil. The theme is dear to the principles of Brazil's 1988 National Constitution, which determines that the fight against regional inequalities, based on regional development, is a commitment for the Brazilian stat… Show more
“…A compreensão da pessoa que vivencia o comportamento suicida exige, por vezes, entendimento acerca do estigma sobre o fenômeno e em relação às visões contemporâneas, que atribuem a este comportamento um cunho de marginalidade. Além disso, é fundamental a ruptura desses olhares parciais e uma compreensão abrangente do espectro envolto na temática (25) .…”

Objective: to characterize the presence of suicidal ideation, use of psychoactive substances and mental distress among homeless people. Methodology: a cross sectional study carried out with 127 participants. Data were collected through the application of a questionnaire containing sociodemographic data, economic information related to living and health conditions and the Self-Reporting Questionnaire; the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test; and the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test. Data analysis was carried out descriptively. Results: 37% of the sample reported suicidal ideation, with predominance of the female gender (52.6%), adults (from 30 to 39 years old) (36.3%), non-white skin color (35.2%), low schooling level (39.7%), without a partner (36.4%) and earning no income (36.7%). Problematic consumption of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and cocaine was observed among the participants with suicidal ideation. More than half of the sample that presented suicidal ideation was experiencing mental distress. Conclusion: suicidal ideation was identified in a significant portion of the sample. Problematic use of psychoactive substances and mental distress were also prevalent in those with suicidal ideation.

A new paradigm has been discussed regarding the impact of economic cycles on the mortality pattern from specific causes. These causes are called deaths of despair, and they selectively impact specific demographic groups. Also, low- and middle- income countries are most affected due to their economic and social instability. In this sense, the objective of study was to compare the magnitude of disparity in deaths from despair according to sex, age, and race in Brazil. We performed Poisson regression modeling to estimate the magnitude of the association between sex, age group, race, and deaths from despair. We found an association between mortality from despair and male sex (PR=6.15, 95%CI 6.09 – 6.22); emphasis on the age groups from 40 to 49 years old (PR=2.45, 95% CI 2.41 – 2.48) and 50 to 59 years old (PR=2.39, 95% CI 2.36 – 2.43); and brown (PR=1.21, 95% CI 1.20 – 1.22) and black race (PR=1.36, 95% CI 1.34 – 1.37). The present study preliminarily presents the effect of the economic crisis and mortality in the population, with demographic differences. Association with race was opposite to that verified in the original study in US, which suggests that this variable should be analyzed in the light of structural context.
