Introduction

Suicidal phenomena help seeking depends on a broad array of factors, which include climatic variables. Our aim was to analyse the effect of precipitation with help seeking in patients suffering from suicidal behaviour

Objectives

Our aim was to analyse the effect of precipitation with help seeking in patients suffering from suicidal behaviour

Methods

Daily urgency visits from suicidal phenomena (including suicide attempt and ideation) were extracted from electronic medical records of Hospital Universitario La Paz from 1st January 2019 to 31st December 2019. Precipitation data (measured as accumulated litres per square meter) was obtained from a local climate station. Spearman correlation was estimated

Results

The Spearman correlation coefficient was 0.04(p = 0.48)

Conclusions
