title: [Study on the influencing factors related to suicide ideation among undergraduates in Anhui province].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore the relationships between quality of life, negative life events, social support and suicide ideation among undergraduates in colleges.
  
  
  METHODS
  3517 undergraduates in colleges were recruited by multistage stratified random clustered sampling method. Factors associated with suicide ideation were analyzed with logistic regression by scores of Beck Scale for Suicide Ideation(BSSI), Generic Quality of Life Inventory (GQOLI), Adolescent Self-rate Life Events Checklist (ASLEC), Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and a questionnaire on background information.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The rate of suicide ideation within 7 days was 14.1%, especially in females (15.96%), with single parent (23.79%) and disabled undergraduates (25.00%). The primary risk factors for suicide ideation were with low psychological function, material life, family/social support, lower availability of support and more negative life events.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The prevalence of suicide ideation among these undergraduates was high, appropriate measures focusing on these risk factors should be implemented.
