abstract="<b>Objective:</b> To evaluate whether collegiate athletes and nonathlete college students differ in nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI), suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, and help-seeking behaviors. <b>Participants:</b> 165,210 respondents to the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment (NCHA), a survey administered to college students by participating institutions during Fall 2011 to Spring 2015. <b>Methods:</b> Single-level binary logistic regression with equality of coefficients tests and chi-square analyses. <b>Results:</b> The models for NSSI and suicide attempt differed slightly between student-athletes and nonathletes. Most notably, stress is a stronger correlate of NSSI (<i>Z</i> = 3.03, <i>p</i> < .01) for nonathletes while difficulties with social relationships is a stronger correlate of suicide attempt for student-athletes (<i>Z</i>=-3.13, <i>p</i> < .01). <b>Conclusion:</b> Our findings highlight the salience of relationship problems as a correlate with suicide attempts in student-athletes. Difficulty in romantic or other social relationships could be a marker of risk or an identifiable, actionable target for preventing future suicidal behaviors among collegiate athletes.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
