    The World Health Organization (WHO) defines suicide as the act of intentionally taking one's own life (Unicef, 2017). In this regard, it is defined as the act of deliberately causing one's own death. However, one of the most recent definitions states that suicide is death resulting from a harmful self-inflicted behavior when the individual intended to die as a result of that behavior (Crosby, Ortega, and Melanson, 2011). This suggests that there is global consensus on the concept, but not on the ideas and behaviors associated with it (Rangel and Cárdenas, 2022), which makes it understandable that it remains a topic of research, even though it is taboo and stigmatized by many. It is estimated that around 800,000 suicides occur worldwide each year: one every forty seconds, with twenty suicide attempts for each death (Rangel and Cárdenas, 2022). Furthermore,suicide is currently one of the three leading causes of death among people aged 15 to 44 (Therapyside, 2022) and is the second leading cause of death among the 15 to 29 age group, after car accidents (Unicef, 2017). The present study, entitled 'Analysis of Suicidal Behavior among Youth Aged 15 to 24 in Bogotá in 2024, Based on Secondary Data,' aims to investigate the scope and characteristics of youth suicide in the context of Bogotá through the analysis of statistical data obtained from institutional and publicly accessible sources. The study was conducted using a quantitative and descriptive approach, based on the use of secondary data obtained from organizations such as the National Department of Statistics (DANE), the Ministry of Health and Social Protection, and other official reports related to youth mortality and mental health.
