Abstract
The study investigated the factors that could influence suicidal behaviours among university students in Edo State. The descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study comprised all full-time undergraduates (79, 813) in public and privately owned universities in Edo State. Using a multistage sampling procedure, a sample of 720 students was drawn for the study.
