The purpose of this study was to find a relationship between month of birth & suicide. The sample consisted of 1177 suicides in New Hampshire from 1955-69. However, the author found no relationship between month of birth & suicide. No seasonal (that is, months of birth during the winter months) relationship was found either. The results from suicides taken earlier in the study (from 1955-59) yielded similar results to those taken later (1960-64), showing consistency in results over time.
