dc.description.abstract | The relationship between suicidality, depression, anxiety, and well-being was explored in young adults (median age 20.7
years) from the State of Yucatan (Mexico), which has a suicide rate double that of other Mexican states. A cross-sectional
study was carried out in 20 universities in Yucatan and 9,366 students were surveyed using validated questionnaires built
into a smartphone app, applying partial least squares structural equation models. High suicide risk was assessed in 10.8%
of the sample. Clinically relevant depression and anxiety levels were found in 6.6% and 10.5% of the sample, respectively, and 67.8% reported high well-being. Comparably higher levels of suicide risk, depression and anxiety, and lower
well-being were found in women, who were also somewhat older than men in our study. Furthermore, path analysis in
the structural equation model revealed that depression was the main predictor of suicidal behaviour as well as of higher
anxiety levels and lower self-perceived well-being in the total sample and in both genders. Our findings draw attention
to the association between suicidality, depression, anxiety, and well-being in Yucatan young adults and gender differences
with this regard. Mental health screening via smartphone might be a useful tool to reach large populations and contribute
to mental health policies, including regional suicide prevention efforts | en_US |
