The number of hospitalizations were collected from the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH) administrative data for the pre- and post-intervention period (up to two years). The hospitalization rate is the hospitalizations per 100 person years, adjusted for mortality and leaving the state of Georgia. For participants in the CDSMP group, data were collected for the period of one year before and one year after the date when the CDSMP workshop started. For participants receiving usual care, data were collected one year before and one year after the index date, which is when 50% of CDSMP participants started their first intervention class.

The number of emergency department (ED) visits were collected from the Georgia DPH administrative data for the pre- and post-intervention period (up to two years).

For participants in the CDSMP group, data were collected for the period of one year before and one year after the date when the CDSMP workshop started. For participants receiving usual care, data were collected one year before and one year after the index date, which is when 50% of CDSMP participants started their first intervention class.

Total of all reporting groups

African American women consented into the parent Georgians Organized Against Lupus (GOAL) cohort who were not selected to be enrolled in the intervention will comprise the usual care group. This group will continue their longitudinal assessments as part or the GOAL cohort data collection efforts.

Self-efficacy for managing medical care was assessed with the PROMIS Self-efficacy for Managing Medications and Treatments Short Form (SF) 8a instrument. This is an eight-item tool that quantifies the level of current confidence (from 1=not confident at all to 5=very confident) a person with a chronic condition has in taking and managing medication and other treatments in challenging situations (e.g., traveling, running out of medication, occurrence of side effects). Total raw scores are converted to T-scores by the Health Measures Scoring Service. The T-score rescales the raw score into a standardized score with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation (SD) of 10. A higher score indicates better self-efficacy for managing medications and treatments; scores higher than 50 indicate greater self-efficacy for managing medical care compared to the reference population.

This analysis includes participants who completed the assessment at the indicated time points. Not all participants responded to all surveys.
