Abstract
792 University of Cincinnati students were interviewed via a questionnaire designed to examine the frequency and severity of suicidal thought. Nearly 30% of the students sampled admitted thinking about their own suicide during the ongoing academic year. Approximately 10% of the Ss who admitted having suicidal thoughts rated their thoughts as “Very serious.” Frequency and degree of suicidal thought was not related to the variables of sex, academic year, or area of academic concentration.
