| Resumo: | There exists little scientific production on autolytic behaviour in homeless people, despite the factthat it is one of the groups that is more at risk. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence ofprevious attempted suicide and suicide risk and its connection with the main risk factors. In order to doso, central tendency and dispersion measures, correlations, contingence tables, and average comparisontables according to type of variable and normality were used. The Plutchik suicide-risk test was usedin order to determine the risk of suicide, and specific tests for the main risk factors analysed. The mainresults show a 24.7% suicide rate and 45.2% (n = 66) displayed suicide risk. The main predictive factor ofthe risk of suicide was the daily consumption of alcohol (OR = 1.011, p < .001), followed by being a woman(OR = 1.381, p = .021). It is necessary to design and apply suicide prevention strategies for this population. |
