University students are in transition to adulthood and face multiple challenges that may lead to suicide. They are reported to have a higher risk of suicide by the World Health Organization. As there is no national suicide database in Uganda, we analysed student suicide using the press/media reports of suicides published between 2010 and 2020. A total of deaths by 23 suicide were identified: 19 were males, relationship problems were the main suicide reason ( = 6) and hanging was the most frequently used suicide method ( = 7). A strategic intervention to tackle suicide risk among university students is warranted.
大学生正处于向成年过渡的阶段，面临着多种可能导致自杀的挑战。据世界卫生组织报告，他们的自杀风险更高。由于乌干达没有全国性的自杀数据库，我们利用2010年至2020年期间媒体报道的自杀事件对学生自杀情况进行了分析。共确认了23起自杀死亡事件：其中19例为男性，人际关系问题是主要自杀原因（n = 6），上吊是最常用的自杀方式（n = 7）。有必要采取战略干预措施来应对大学生的自杀风险。
