Abstract

Despite the fact that suicide is the leading cause of external death in Spain, there is no protocolized prevention or intervention plan at national level. The final aim of this study is the design, implementation and evaluation of a new suicide risk prevention program at the Albacete University Hospital Complex, called "RENACE". For this purpose, the sociodemographic and clinical profile of patients with suicidal ideation and behavior was described. The following results were obtained: the majority of patients were women (59%) and the most prevalent age group was 31 to 65 years old. Among the juvenile population, the predominant age range was 14 to 17 years. Regarding the clinical profile, the main diagnosis was trauma-related disorders and stress factors, followed by depressive disorders.
