Abstract
Suicide and suicidal ideation are a concern on college campuses. The prevalence data for suicidal thoughts and suicidal behavior among college students, and the associated risk factors, are reviewed. Important components of a prevention and intervention program are addressed. An integrated, multifaceted approach that involves collaboration among important stakeholders, and incorporates the unique features of each university may be beneficial. Once at-risk students are identified, a comprehensive assessment can be conducted. A treatment plan can then be developed that targets the unique factors related to suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior for each student. It is recommended that multidisciplinary teams be utilized in all phases of program development, implementation, assessment, and treatment.
