Abstract
Seasonality has been documented in the literature as an influence on health status and behaviours. On the basis of such associations, it was both necessary and opportunistic to use the dual intake of the Irish HBSC data collection, to examine the presence of seasonal effects in the self-reported health status and health behaviour of Irish adolescents.
