Abstract
Evidence for Lack of Change in Seasonality of Suicide From Timis County, Romania
Voracek M~~Vintila M~~et al
Data from suicide by hanging in Timis County of Romania show both a nondecrease in seasonality of suicide for the current transitional period (1990-1998), relative to the last decade of the Communist regime (1980-1989), & shifts in location for suicide peak & trough months. The authors hypothesize that recent international decreases in the seasonality of suicide might not generalize to societies in transition, & suggest direction for future research. (34 refs)
