    2. A little
    3. Somewhat
    4. Very Much
    5. Extremely

    Measured: 3 months (after baseline)

  2. Acceptability of intervention (i.e., helpfulness of peer interaction)

    Acceptability ratings completed by participants:

    How helpful was it to interact with other peers in the group?

    2. A little
    3. Somewhat
    4. Very Much
    5. Extremely

    Measured: 3 months (after baseline)

  3. Feasibility of intervention as evidenced by metrics of key activities (accepting group invitation)

    number/percent who accept group invite

    Measured: 8 weeks post-group start

  4. Feasibility of intervention as evidenced by metrics of key activities (engaging in the group)

    number/percent who comment engage (i.e., comment at least one time)
