abstract="OBJECTIVE  To analyze the epidemiological distribution of suicide mortality, according to the methods used in the state of Paraná.   Methods  This is a descriptive study of suicide mortality and methods used in Health Macro-regional of residence listed in the Mortality Information System, 1996-2000 and 2009-2012, and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics, chi-square test/c2 and association measurement/Odds Ratio.   Results  There was an increase in the percentage variation of the suicide mortality rate by hanging in the most of the State Health Macro-regionals, for both sexes. However, suicide by firearm, autointoxication by pesticides and other methods showed decline from the period 1996-2000 to 2009-2012. The hanging was associated with male gender and age over 45 years, from 1996 to 2000, and to education over 12 years, not having a partner and death at home, for the period 2009 to 2012. It was observed greater percentage variation in suicide mortality rate in the West Macro-Region.   Conclusion  The survey of the specific characteristics of suicide mortality methods in the state is a necessary component for the implementation of preventive interventions to reduce suicide.
