Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the temporal trend of female firearm homicides in the Northeast region2000-2019. Methods: Ecological study with data on homicides by firearms in women aged 10 years or more, recorded in the Mortality Information System. Mortality data and population data were obtainedthe Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System. After correcting death records for quality and coverage of deaths, mortality rates were calculated. Trends were evaluated by negative binomial regression, classified according to the relative risk value and p value. The mean annual percentage change in mortality rates was calculated. Results: The region had 4.40 firearm homicides per 100,000 women during the study period, higher coefficients in Alagoas (5.40), in the 15-19 age group (5.84), and public roads (1.58). Trends were ascending in all states, except Pernambuco they were descending, and stationary in Alagoas. Firearm homicides on public roads showed the highest percentage increase in the period studied. Conclusion: There was an upward trend in female homicides perpetrated by firearms in most northeastern states.
