En el 2016 en México se presentó una tasa de 5.1 suicidios por cada 100,000 habitantes. Aguascalientes se encuentra en el 3er lugar a nivel nacional con 9.6 suicidios por cada 100, 000 habitantes. El objetivo de esta investigación fue el de identificar si el uso patológico de internet (PIU) es un factor de riesgo de suicidio en los jóvenes universitarios de la Universidad Autónoma de Aguascalientes. Se realizaron dos encuestas por invitación directa aleatoria, basadas en la Escala de Ideación suicida de Beck y el Internet Adiction Test, a 102 estudiantes. Se encontró que el 69.61% de los encuestados tiene el control completo sobre el uso de internet, el 28.43% tiene problemas frecuentes con el uso de internet y en el 1.96% existe adicción a internet y causa problemas significativos. Notablemente, se encontró que existe una correlación baja pero estadísticamente significativa entre la ideación suicida y la adicción a internet.
