This study examines how changes in combinations of role statuses over 4\u00a0years are associated with substance use, mental health, and life satisfaction outcomes. Participants are from a cohort (\n                    <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20092174) of young people surveyed annually since 2008 (55% female; 47% Hispanic, 23% Asian, 22% White). This study focuses on wave 11 (mean age\u2009=\u200921) and wave 14 (mean age\u2009=\u200925). Latent transition analyses identified distinct changes in role statuses and evaluated whether particular changes were associated with important differences on outcomes. We also examined whether disparities existed for transition analyses based on race and ethnicity, as well as sexual and\/or gender diverse (SGD) status. Regardless of young people\u2019s starting point (e.g.,\n                    <jats:italic>Employed and in Relationship<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Away at College<\/jats:italic>\n                    ,\n                    <jats:italic>Graduated and Working<\/jats:italic>\n                    ), those who transitioned into the\n                    <jats:italic>Launched<\/jats:italic>\n                    class typically had lower depression and anxiety scores, lower likelihood of alcohol and cannabis use disorders, and higher life satisfaction. In contrast, those who transitioned into the\n                    <jats:italic>Extended Transition<\/jats:italic>\n                    (e.g., longer transition to different roles) class reported the poorest outcomes. Hispanic young people and those who indicated SGD identity were more likely to be in the\n                    <jats:italic>Extended Transition<\/jats:italic>\n                    class. Diverse pathways can promote \u201csuccess\u201d that may not meet societal expectations of \u201cnormative\u201d trajectories. It is critical to examine combinations of role status changes during emerging adulthood to provide a better understanding of the interplay of these changes and how they affect outcomes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11121-026-01970-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]],"date-time":"2026-09-09T07:08:46Z","timestamp":1788937726000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Role Status Changes During Emerging Adulthood and Their Association with Substance Use, Mental Health, and Well-Being Outcomes over a 4-Year Period"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8527-7804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth J.","family":"D\u2019Amico","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Rodriguez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joan S.","family":"Tucker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wendy","family":"Troxel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric R.","family":"Pedersen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rachana","family":"Seelam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordan P.","family":"Davis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,9]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"1970_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1080\/02791072.2014.1001099","volume":"47","author":"JP Allem","year":"2015","unstructured":"Allem, J.
