Abstract
Introduction/Objective: The Scleroderma Patient-centered Intervention Network Support group Leader EDucation Program was found in a randomized controlled trial to substantially improve leader self-efficacy. Whether the program is effective for leaders with different levels of experience, including candidate leaders with no prior experience and leaders with ⩽3 years experience or ⩾4 years experience, is not known. The objective of the present post hoc secondary analysis was to evaluate outcomes by leader experience, age, and education. Methods: The trial was a pragmatic, two-arm partially nested randomized controlled trial with 1:1 allocation to intervention or waitlist control. Eligible participants were existing or candidate support group leaders. The 13-session leader training was delivered in groups of five to six participants weekly via videoconference in 60- to 90-min sessions. The primary outcome was leader self-efficacy, measured by the Support Group Leader Self-efficacy Scale (SGLSS) immediately post-intervention. Secondary outcomes were Support Group Leader Self-efficacy Scale scores 3 months post-intervention and emotional distress, leader burnout, and volunteer satisfaction post-intervention and 3 months post-intervention. Leaders were classified as having no experience, ⩽3 years experience, or ⩾4 years experience. Results: A total of 148 participants were randomized to intervention (N = 74) or waitlist (N = 74). Compared to leaders with ⩾4 years of experience, Support Group Leader Self-efficacy Scale scores were non-statistically significantly higher post-intervention for leaders with 0-3 years experience and lower for leaders with no experience. The 3 months post-intervention Support Group Leader Self-efficacy Scale scores were significantly lower for leaders without experience and similar for leaders with 0-3 years to those with ⩾4 years experience. There were no differences by experience on other outcomes or by age and education on any outcomes. Conclusion: Support group leader education improved leader self-efficacy but was most effective for leaders with experience prior to initiating the program.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
