Abstract
It could be a matter of interest that whether staying with family or at hostel be a contributory factor for suicidal risk behaviour among students. The present study aims to explore suicidal behaviour among total of 120 undergraduate students (18- 21 years of age), dividing into 2 groups, 60 staying with family and 60 staying at hostel in Kolkata. They were assessed with the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ 12) and the Suicidal Behaviours Questionnaire – Revised (SBQ-R). The result of the present study shows that there is no significant difference in suicidal risk behaviour among students staying at hostel and with family.
