Objective: To determine the association between Internet addiction and suicidal ideation in adolescents from a private school in Lima - Peru. Material and methods: Cross-sectional analytical study. Population composed of high school students from 2nd to 5th grade from a private school in Lima-Peru. The “Lima Internet Addiction Scale” was used to measure Internet addiction; while to evaluate the presence of suicidal ideation, which is a dichotomous categorical variable, we used a standardized item (question 9) belonging to "The Beck Depression Inventory, II" (BDI-II), which is detailed as "Suicidal thoughts or wishes”. Poisson Regression with robust variance was used, from which PR was calculated with 95% CI. Results: It can be seen that 56.9% of students were women and the median (IQR) for age was 15 (14;16). For each unit of increase in the EAIL scale the probability of suicidal ideation increased by 10% adjusting for the rest of the variables (p=0.03). The median total internet addiction score was 18(15;22) and the frequency of suicidal ideation was 19.3%. Women had 2.3 times more prevalence of suicidal ideation compared to men (p=0.03) and students who consumed alcoholic beverages in the last year had 1.6 times more prevalence of suicidal ideation compared to those who did not however this association was not statistically significant. Conclusions: This cross-sectional study provides us evidence that internet addiction is associated with suicidal ideation (p<0.05) finding that for each unit increase in the EAIL scale, the probability of suicidal ideation increased by 10% adjusted for the rest of the variables. It is necessary to continue exploring the association with longitudinal studies.
