Objective: to characterize the suicide attempts among adolescents and young people in a Brazilian city. Method: this is a quantitative, retrospective, exploratory, and descriptive study, carried out at the Family Health Support Center. Data were collected from 55 files of compulsory notification of individuals between 12 and 25 years old, notified as suicide attempt by the Center for Epidemiological Surveillance, during the study period. The organization and analysis of the data were performed by means of descriptive statistics. Results: the sample was mainly composed of individuals aged 22 to 25 years old, white-skinned women, students, single women, living in urban areas, with suicide attempted at home, at night, by poisoning. Conclusion: this profile is similar to the profile of attempts among adults highlighted in the literature, indicating the importance for the professionals to implement prevention strategies also among children and adolescents, in order to avoid not only attempts but also suicide among this population.
