Depression prevalence was 28.7%; and female gender, first-year student status, substance use, past-year physical and psychological illness, stressful life events, family psychiatric history, and personal suicidal behaviors were the main risk factors. The final model considering all the studied variables explained 23.5% of the variance in depression. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Effective psychological help services, awareness and intervention programs, and so on, should be implemented to reduce students' psychological burdens.
