Abstract
This cross-sectional study seeks to determine the suicide risk factor and associated factors in college students from a university located in Manizales (Colombia). 170 students were chosen by convenience sampling applying the following scales: ISO-30 Questionnaire, APGAR, Beck Inventory, Rosenberg Scale, Scoff Questionnaire, AUDIT Scale and Epworth Scale. 19.4% of the participants were at a high level of suicide risk, 55.9% of them being female. The following variables were significant in the bivariate analysis: gender, consumption of psychoactive substances, family functionality, depression, self-esteem, dependence on alcoholic beverages, and sleepiness. In the multivariate analysis, family functionality and self-esteem were significant. This population has a high suicide risk due to the presence of risk factors, which requires urgent intervention, not only in this population, but also in the university population of Manizales.
