Methods: Data from 4,563 adults (mean age 41.4 years) that participated in the 2020 Cabo Verde STEPS survey were analysed. Results: Results indicate that the proportion of PSB (attempt 0.6%, plan 1.5% and ideation 3.3%) was 3.7% (2.4% men/5.0% women). In adjusted logistic regression analysis, younger age, female sex, unemployed, widowed or divorced, alcohol family problem, heart attack, angina or stroke, current smokeless tobacco use and low fruit/vegetable intake were associated with PSB. Conclusion: Almost 4% of participants had PSB and several associated factors were identified that can guide public health interventions.MedicineSuicidal behaviour among adults in Cabo Verde in 2020ArticleSCOPUS10.1177/002076402311967522-s2.0-8517003736217412854
