Abstract
Abstract Background Pediatric patients with chronic disease face challenges during the transition to adult care, including psychosocial and emotional stressors, as well as worsening disease. Aims Transition to Adulthood through Coaching and Empowerment (TRACE) assessed the feasibility of conducting a virtual transition coaching randomized controlled trial for adolescent patients and collected preliminary clinical outcomes. Methods Individuals aged 16-17 diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease or juvenile idiopathic arthritis from the pediatric gastroenterology (GI) or rheumatology clinics at McMaster Children’s Hospital were recruited. Participants were randomized into control or Transition Coach Intervention (TCI) groups. TCI participants received 8 virtual coaching sessions; 6 with a child life specialist and 2 with a clinical psychologist. Electronic questionnaires were completed at baseline, 8 months, and 11 months. Feasibility outcomes, patient demographics, transition readiness, and quality of life were recorded. Descriptive statistics summarized feasibility outcomes and outcomes by group. Results Of all participants (n=27), 67% were male, and the mean (SD) age was 16.8 (0.5) years. The recruitment rate was 58% and 38% for the GI and rheumatology clinics, respectively. The overall dropout rate was 7%. All TCI participants attended at least 6/8 sessions, and 63% of participants had a complete data set (Table I). Figure 1 shows baseline and 8-month follow-up data for preliminary clinical outcomes, such as transition readiness and quality of life, which will inform the design of a future randomized controlled trial. Conclusions The TRACE study aims to show that a virtual TCI trial is feasible. Based on preliminary responses to this transition intervention, we plan to conduct a large-scale, randomized controlled trial. Table I: Feasibility outcomes.

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
