Resumen Los objetivos del estudio son caracterizar la incidencia de psicopatología y antecedentes de conducta suicida en universitarios que consultan a un Servicio de Salud Estudiantil y determinar diferencias y/o asociaciones signifi cativas en relación a género. Se utilizó un diseño no experimental de carácter exploratorio y cuantitativo. Se recogieron antecedentes de conducta suicida y diagnósticos según DSM-IV (ejes I y II). Se incluyeron 460 universitarios que recibieron atención psicológica y/o psiquiátrica entre 01/2006 y 07/2008, según muestreo aleatorio estratifi cado. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva, inferencial y relacional. Los resultados indican incidencias consistentemente altas con hallazgos en poblaciones universitarias extranjeras y nacionales. Se encontraron tasas signifi cativas para trastornos adaptativos, trastornos del ánimo, trastornos de ansiedad, desordenes de personalidad y antecedentes conducta suicida. Un alto porcentaje presenta alteraciones clíni-cas ligadas a ansiedad y depresión. Se encuentra mayor incidencia de trastornos adaptativos que de otros trastornos; y diferencias-asociaciones signifi cativas según género para diversos trastornos. Palabras clave: Salud mental, psicopatología, conducta suicida, población universitaria.

Relational and descriptive statistics was used. The results indicate the high consistent incidents with fi nds in university foreign and national populations. Rates were signifi cant for adaptive disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders and suicidal behavior data. A high percentage of the students show clinical alterations related to anxiety and depression. A higher rate of adaptive disorders was found, compared with other disorders; and signifi cant differences/associations with the gender for different disorders.
