We performed a systematic review of scientific papers that show no experimental epidemiological studies, including observational analytic case-control studies and cohort studies (retrospective and prospective). The literature search was performed in electronic databases PubMed , SciELO and care . There were a total number of eight relevant studies according to the inclusion criteria , which do not demonstrate that it is possible to establish criteria screening for early detection of suicidal behavior , this is due to lack of research the subject and the difference between the results of the studies reviewed.
