Abstract
Historical Change of Suicide Seasonality in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland
Ajdacic-Gross V~~Bopp M~~et al
This work compares suicide seasonalities in Zurich, Switzerland, in the 16th-18th centuries, 1901-1920 & 1969-1994. The results indicate shifts of peaks & lows on suicide seasonalities over the centuries, with a smoothing of seasonalities toward the 21st century. The recent period does not show any suicide seasonality at all. The canton of Zurich seems to be ahead of the general trend found in other regions of Switzerland. (37 refs)
