Abstract

Recent literature on seasonal variation, and weather or climate influence, in suicide is reviewed. Recent studies have challenged the widely held notion that seasonal effects on suicide are a unitary phenomenon, not influenced by age, gender or the circumstances of the act. Suggestions for research and the development of more effective preventive strategies are offered. (C) 2000 Lippincott Williams and Wilkins.
