Seasonal Variation in Suicidal Deaths

DAVID LESTER Ph.D.1

1 Director of Research, Suicide-Prevention and Crisis Service, Inc., 560 Main Street, Suite 405, Buffalo, N.Y. 14202, U.S.A.

Suicidal deaths were found to be most common in the spring and the early winter. The seasonal distribution of suicidal deaths was found both in comparison to deaths from all causes and in comparison to chance expectations. No differences were found in the seasonal variation of suicidal deaths for different subgroups of the population, but this technique is recommended as a tool for investigating the causes of the seasonal variation in suicidal deaths.
