Objectives: To present suicide rates in the state of Pará and associated sociodemographic factors, as well as to describe coverage rates of the Psychosocial Care Centers (Centros de Atenção Psicossocial [CAPS]) between 2006 and 2015. Methods: Data were retrieved from the National Mortality Information System (Sistema de Informação sobre Mortalidade [SIM]), the National Registry of Health Establishments (Cadastro Nacional de Estabelecimentos de Saúde [CNES]), and the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Results: State suicide rates rose 44% between 2006 and 2015, more than double the national increase in the same period. It was observed that suicide occurs at a 4:1 ratio between males and females; a third of the deaths affects young adults; most victims have brown skin color and are single. Hanging was the suicide method most commonly used. In the same period, according to the Brazilian Ministry of Health, there was an improvement in the coverage of CAPS in the state, from 0.48 CAPS/100,000 inhabitants in 2006, considered regular/low, to 1.06 CAPS/100,000 inhabitants in 2015. Conclusion: The methodology employed does not allow to establish a causal relationship between CAPS coverage and suicide rates.
