"in 1986 Cuba's suicide rate reached 24 per thousand"
24 for every 1,000 (missed off a few 00's maybe)
In Australia around 25 per 100,000
from below Cuba's peak 23.2 (.2??/) in 1982 so Australia is up there with Cuba in the suicide stakes which begs the question as to what is happening in the lucky country?
in Cuba from another more reliable site than oliveoyl's 'trash'
There is much much more to read for those desperate enuff.

With hopes riding on the fledgling Castro revolution, suicides plummeted in the 1960s and averaged 8 to 10 per 100,000 people, Donate-Armada said. But after 1970 harvest failure, the rate rose, peaking at 23.2 in 1982
