| Abstract: | Research on twin studies of suicidal behavior are reviewed. No Methodologically sound study on twins reared apart has et appeared, and so firm conclusions cannot be drawn from the research. Monozygotic twins reared together do appear to have higher concordance rates for suicide than dizygotic twins reared together. Confounding factors are discussed and suggestions made for future research. |
