Objective: to identify the risk factors for suicidal ideation among university students assisted at the student health care service of a Federal University in the state of Minas Gerais. Method: a
cross-sectional and retrospective study with a quantitative approach, based on administrative data generated by the Health Division of a Federal University in the state of Minas Gerais. The SPSS
software, version 20.0, was used for all the analyses. A level of significance of 5% was adopted. Results: 545 forms of assistance were analyzed. Most of the assisted patients were female, the mean age was 22 years old, and there is higher prevalence in undergraduate students. The abuse of psychoactive substances was associated with suicidal ideation (p = 0.010), as well as with alcohol abuse (p = 0.020). Predictors for suicidal ideation are: use of psychotropic drugs (p = 0.022);
previous suicide attempt (p=0.002); non-suicidal self-harming behavior (p = 0.038); alcohol abuse (p = 0.010), and studying at the Uberlândia Campus (p = 0.001). In contrast, the variables
related to conflicts at the university (p=0.004) and to interpersonal relationships (p = 0.007) were
considered protective. Conclusion: interventions based on the risk factors identified in the research are considered necessary ...
