What practice does NOT impact the potential for sailors to commit suicide?

Drinking responsibly is a practice that primarily relates to managing alcohol consumption and its immediate effects on behavior and health. While excessive drinking can lead to negative mental health outcomes and increase the risk of self-harm or suicidal thoughts, responsible drinking itself does not directly address the underlying mental health issues or provide support systems that are critical in suicide prevention.

In contrast, seeking mental health support, engaging in physical fitness, and participating in peer support programs are all proactive measures that have been shown to enhance well-being and resilience among sailors. Mental health support can provide coping strategies and therapeutic interventions, physical fitness contributes to overall well-being and stress reduction, and peer support programs foster a sense of community and connection, which are vital during challenging times. These practices are linked to better emotional health, reducing the risk factors associated with suicide.
