Psychosocial Autopsy-Based Predictive Models of Suicidal Behavior: Systematic Review of Approaches and Recent Evidence

Modelos Predictivos de la Conducta Suicida Basados en la Autopsia Psicosocial: Revisión Sistemática de Enfoques y Evidencia Reciente

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the recent scientific literature on predictive models of suicidal behavior based on psychosocial autopsy. The methodology used was based on PRISMA guidelines, complemented with a quantitative approach typical of exploratory systematic reviews. For the collection of information, publications in English and Spanish corresponding to the period 2020 – 2025 were considered. Sixteen relevant studies were selected, located through the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. The findings indicate that the integration of psychosocial autopsies with artificial intelligence models allows the development of more accurate and contextualized predictors of suicide risk, thus strengthening prevention and early intervention strategies.
