abstract="OBJECTIVE: To update prior studies on the impact of Covid-19 on suicide in Mexico. <br><br>MATERIALS AND METHODS: We used interrupted time-series analysis to model the national trend in monthly suicides before Covid-19 (January 1, 2010, to March 31, 2020), comparing the expected number of suicides with the observed number for the remainder of the period (April 1, 2020, to December 31, 2021). <br><br>RESULTS: We observed a 5% increase in suicides, driven by suicides among the younger females ages <44 years and among older males ages 45+. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Since in Mexico the impact of Covid-19 on suicide depended on sex and age, tailored public health strategies may be needed to confront the problem.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
