Objective: to analyze the prevalence of reported cases of self-inflicted violence and associated factors in Espírito Santo between 2011 and 2018.Method: this is a cross-sectional study that used all reported cases of self-inflicted violence registered in the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação between 2011 and 2018, in the state of Espírito Santo. Multivariate analysis was performed using Poisson Regression.Results: the prevalence of self-inflicted violence was 25.1%. The 10 to 19-year-old group had a prevalence of approximately 19 times greater self-inflicted violence report, as did people of white race/color (PR: 1.26) and people with disabilities/disorders (PR: 2.85) showed a higher frequency of this problem. A higher prevalence was observed among those without suspected alcohol use (PR: 2.36), with an occurrence approximately four times higher in the home, and an increase in approximately 50% of non-repeating cases.Conclusion: reports of self-inflicted violence in Espírito Santo were high during the period studied and were associated with characteristics of the victim and the event. Health professionals are fundamental in the process of tracking this problem and consequently in the process of designing prevention and protection strategies for victims.
