To identify suicidal risk factor and associated factors in adolescents from an educational institute in Palestina (Caldas-Colombia). Materials and Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study with a population of 354 students. The Plutchik scale was applied to measure suicidal risk factors, other surveys where as well applied for associated risk factors such as family function, depression, alcohol consume, violent tendency, etc. Results: The average age was 14,28 years, 11.8% had a suicidal risk according to the Plutchik scale, 5.3% in men and 17.9% women; 56,8% showed depression according to the Bierleson scale, 42.6% showed a family dysfunction from mild to
severe, 27.0% showed alcohol dependency, 15,5% showed drugs dependency; A risk of violence of 33% according to the Plutchik survey. The following factors have a significant relationship with the suicidal risk factor according to Plutchik: Psychoactive drug use (p= 0.000), family history of suicide (p = 0.000), family functionality (p = 0.000), alcoholic dependence (p = 0.002), depression (p = 0.000), abuse (p = 0.000), gender (p = 0.000).
Conclusion: This population presents a suicidal risk factor which can be compared with that of other similar populations. The found associated risk factors are typical of the Colombian population as are child abuse and violent tendency. It may be desirable to have an intervention with this population.
