College Suicide Ideation Among Students: A Multivariate Analysis
Archives of Suicide Research, Volume 13, Issue 3 July 2009 , pages 230 - 246

The goal of this study was to develop a multi-dimensional model that might explain suicide ideation among college students.
Depressive symptoms, low social support, affective dysregulation, and father-child conflict were each independently associated with suicide ideation. Only 40% of individuals with suicide ideation were classified as depressed according to standard criteria. In the group who reported low levels of depressive symptoms, low social support and affective dysregulation were important predictors of suicide ideation.

Alcohol use disorder was also independently associated with suicide ideation, while parental conflict was not.
