Whether the program is effective for leaders with different levels of experience, including candidate leaders with no prior experience and leaders with \u2a7d3\u2009years experience or \u2a7e4\u2009years experience, is not known. The objective of the present post hoc secondary analysis was to evaluate outcomes by leader experience, age, and education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>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\u2009months post-intervention and emotional distress, leader burnout, and volunteer satisfaction post-intervention and 3\u2009months post-intervention. Leaders were classified as having no experience, \u2a7d3\u2009years experience, or \u2a7e4\u2009years experience.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 148 participants were randomized to intervention (N\u2009=\u200974) or waitlist (N\u2009=\u200974). Compared to leaders with \u2a7e4\u2009years of experience, Support Group Leader Self-efficacy Scale scores were non-statistically significantly higher post-intervention for leaders with 0\u20133\u2009years experience and lower for leaders with no experience. The 3\u2009months post-intervention Support Group Leader Self-efficacy Scale scores were significantly lower for leaders without experience and similar for leaders with 0\u20133\u2009years to those with \u2a7e4\u2009years experience. There were no differences by experience on other outcomes or by age and education on any outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n
