Abstract

This study aimed to assess the suicide prevention needs of college students. Mixed methods with interview and questionnaire application were applied to 54 informants, including students, health professionals and course coordinators. The data were analyzed through Content Analysis and simple descriptive statistics. The category with most frequent response was mental disorders in youth. However, these disorders express a process of illness that originates from environmental stressors experienced during the graduating process and social and emotional vulnerabilities prior to entering university. These results point to the need for initiatives focused on students, university community, the institution, social actors and institutional networks and public policies.
