Results : Estimated lifetime prevalence of suicidal ideation was 39.2%, that of suicidal plan was 4.7% and that of suicidal attempt was 3.0%. Students with any suicide-related behaviors showed higher lifetime prevalence of major and minor depression, higher BDI and BAI scores, and poor intemersonal relationship, adaptation to college life and physical health compared to the students with no suicide-related behaviors. The average points of grades during their college life were not significantly different according to kinds of suicide-related behaviors they expehenced (F=0.39, P=0.82). 96% of suicidal attempters did not use mental health services.
Conclusion : Results suggest that a high proportion of college students experience suicide-related behaviors. The Stu-dents who had experienced suicide-related behaviors showed higher depression and anxiety and poorer function compared to students with no suicide-related behaviors. Most of suicidal attempters, however, did not use mental health service Establishing campus mental health system is necessary to early detect mental health problems and to prevent suicide of college students.
