Protective Factors as Predictors of Suicide Risk among Graduate Students
Bruns, Kristin L.; Letcher, Amber
Journal of College Counseling, v21 n2 p111-124 Jul 2018
The purpose of this study was to examine protective factors as predictors of suicide risk among graduate students (n = 413) at a large midwestern university. Using binary logistic regression, the authors assigned students to risk classifications (i.e., nonrisk group or suicide risk group). Results indicated emotional stability as the strongest predictor for participants' placement into the nonrisk or suicide risk group. The authors discuss implications for counselors and directors of college counseling centers, as well as directions for future research.
