This study by Alianza 4U (EAFIT, Icesi, Universidad del Norte, and CESA) examined the mental health of 1,200 Colombian university students (ages 18-28) through a cross-sectional design, April-June 2025. Findings show higher anxiety, depression, and stress among women, and significant regional differences, but none between public and private institutions.

Depression almost fully mediated these factors' effect on suicidal ideation.
