Purpose Suicide is a leading cause of death among 15-29-year-olds. Effective prevention strategies are urgent, particularly for university students, where knowledge gaps regarding suicide-related factors hinders preventative efforts. The present study aimed to identify subgroups within Brazilian college students to examine the relationship of identified subgroups with suicidal ideation (SI) and depression. Methods Using academic and mental health indicator from a national survey of Brazilian college students, a latent class analysis was conducted to identify subgroups of students based on similar characteristics. Meaningful classes were subjected to logistic regression to identify potential associations with SI and depressive symptoms. Results Four distinct classes were identified, labeled as: “ordinary”, “psychologically distressed”, “dissatisfied”, and “binge drinkers”. The subgroups experiencing psychological distress and dissatisfaction were associated with a higher likelihood of presenting SI and depressive symptoms. Conclusion The impact of academic life on students' mental health must be closely monitored by the universities’ pedagogical and health services. Early identification of students in psychological distress is essential for appropriate referral to supportive services. Assessment of the relationship between suicide-related vulnerabilities is still very necessary to develop adequate prevention plans in educational settings.
