Suicide is a worldwide health problem susceptible of prevention. It has motivated the interest of numerous investigators because it occurs at earlier and earlier ages. A descriptive study was carried out to analyze some variables associated to suicide mortality in the province of Matanzas in the period 1989-2003. The universe and the sample were composed by all the persons died in the province in the studied years. Data were compiled from the death certificates. Since 2000, the suicide rates in the country and in our province have already being diminishing. Nonetheless, this is a program keeping a constant vigilance. That is why we decided to perform a study about the suicide behavior in our province during the last 15 years.Downloads
