This study examined health and wellness peer educators' learning outcomes using a socially responsible leadership conceptual framework. Data from a multi-institutional study were collected via a survey of 425 participants.

Additionally, academic class standing, motivations for becoming a peer educator, and prior leadership competencies predicted outcomes of socially responsible leadership. Implications for student affairs practice are included.
