A retrospective-descriptive study was undertaken to assess some aspects of the National Suicidal Behaviour Prevention Program. taking its structure, process and results into account. The study covered aspects such as dead people from suicide and attempet suicide cases in Playa municipality, City of Havana, during 1995 as well as family physicians who treated suicide cases and a randomized group of physicians who had neither dead people from suicide nor attempted suicide case in the same year. The individual and family medical records of the dead patients of the first group of physicians were checked. Both groups of physicians were put to a competency test so as to e evaluate their knowledge on the main program actions. Expert criteria, indexes and standards were used in this test. The Program was neither efficient, nor effective due to the short comings found in its structure, process and results.
