Abstract
ABSTRACT This research examines psychosocial risk factors of non-suicidal self injury (NSSI) and suicidal ideation among a sample of college students. Data were collected from a random sample of 1,153 undergraduate students attending a Midwestern public university. Logistic regression was used to investigate various risk factors of NSSI and suicidal ideation, including respondent demographic characteristics, mental health, sexual victimization, substance use, and academic anxiety. Overall, 7% of the college students reported engaging in NSSI in the past year, while 8% reported suicidal ideation in the past year. Factors associated with significantly higher likelihood of NSSI and suicidal ideation include non-heterosexual orientation, sexual victimization, substance use, depression, and low self-esteem and self-efficacy. Students experiencing psychosocial and health related factors were found to be at an increased risk for NSSI and suicidal ideation.
