有关美国大学生中自杀现象日益流行的说法是错误的。全国咨询中心主任调查报告称，在14年的时间里，有1404名学生自杀，调整后的自杀率为6.5，在性别和年龄匹配的情况下，这是同期美国总人口(所有种族为12.6)自杀率的一半。咨询中心在治疗自杀学生方面似乎很有效，因为尽管目前或以前在校园咨询中心服务的学生的自杀率是其他学生的3倍，但学生客户的自杀风险是一般学生的18倍。识别和转介自杀风险较高的学生可以进一步降低学生自杀的粗略和相对比率。然而，即使是只做得适度好的项目也可能需要大幅增加咨询人员。
Suggestions that there is a growing epidemic of suicide among college students in the United States are false. The National Survey of Counseling Center Directors reports 1,404 student suicides over a 14-year period and an adjusted suicide rate of 6.5, half the rate of the general US population (12.6 for all races) during this period when matched for gender and age. Counseling centers appear effective in treating suicidal students, for although the suicide rate for students who were currently or previously clients at campus counseling centers is 3 times the rate of other students, student clients have 18 times the risk of suicide compared to students in general. Identifying and referring students at elevated risk for suicide could further reduce the crude and relative rate of student suicide. However, even programs that do this only moderately well may require substantial increases in counseling staffing.
