N2  - This study examined the relations among three risk factors--depression, hopelessness, and alcohol-related problems, and three sources of social support (Family, Friends, Significant Others)--and reasons for living as measured by the Reasons for Living for Young Adults (RFL-YA) in college men (N = 303). In the hierarchical regression analyses, reports of hopelessness, depression, and alcohol-related problems significantly predicted reasons for living in the expected direction. Social support from family and friends, but not significant others significantly predicted reasons for living in college men. Implications are offered for the improved identification and treatment of young men at risk for suicidal thoughts and behaviors.
