The Birth Seasonality Effect in Nonschizophrenic Psychiatric Patients.
Watson, Charles G.; And Others
Journal of Clinical Psychology, v40 n4 p884-88 Jul 1984
Investigated seasonal trends in the birth patterns of neurotics (N=989), alcoholics (N=2,870), affective disorders (N=320) and personality disorders (N=713) both before and after controlling for age prevalence. Results did not support the view that birth rates for nonschizophrenic psychiatric disorders are higher in some seasons than in others. (LLL)
