This study identified factors associated with suicide risk among Brazilian graduate students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings showed that graduate students had a high vulnerability to suicide risk, with higher income and religious affiliation acting as protective factors. Risk factors included non-heterosexual orientation, history of mental disorders, misuse of medications, alcohol consumption, and dissatisfaction with life due to social media use.
Though pandemic-related suicides are a concern, little is known about factors potentially linking graduate student life and suicide risk. This study identified factors associated with suicide risk among Brazilian graduate students (N = 5,344) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Utilizing the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, this study revealed that 31.5% of participants presented some risk for suicide: 16.6% low risk, 4.7% moderate risk, and 10.2% high risk. Higher income and religious affiliation were identified as protective factors. Identified risk factors encompass non-heterosexual orientation, a history of depression or posttraumatic stress or common mental disorders diagnoses, the use of medications-both general and psychopharmaceuticals-without medical prescription, antipsychotics use, alcohol consumption, lack of health insurance, and dissatisfaction with life as a result of accessing social media networks. The high vulnerability of graduate students to suicide risk highlights the need for institutional suicide prevention initiatives.
