In relation to high risk of suicide, was found that women have three times more risk than men; those from west zone have eight times more risk than those from eastern center zone; for each student who is at risk and has not been harmed themselves, there are five who do what they have done; in addition, each student made a minimal risk of self-harm, there are six students who injured themselves seriously in seeking death. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: sex, age self-harm and consultation antecedents into health services, can be important predictors of suicidal risk in college students.
