Do Weather, day of the Week, and Address Affect the Rate of Attempted Suicide in Hong Kong?

This study attempts to discover if there is any correlation between weather, day of week, housing conditions & an increased rate of suicide. The author found no significant relation between weather & suicide attempts but did discover that suicide attempters were more likely to live in temporary structures- in which many inhabitants were new immigrants. As well, suicides by housewives were highest on Sundays. No evidence of social contagion was found. (VM)
