Participants were predominantly female (65.63%), non-Hispanic White (75%), and enrolled in school (68.76%). Participants reported their current residential status, mental health, and substance use, and completed measures of social and role functioning, social satisfaction, and demographic characteristics. A unified mediation model tested whether social satisfaction mediated associations between residential status and (1) depression, (2) alcohol use, and (3) cannabis use, adjusting for relevant covariates.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Living alone, compared with living with a parental figure, was associated with greater social satisfaction, which in turn predicted fewer depression symptoms. In contrast, living alone or with friends or roommates was directly associated with elevated alcohol and cannabis use but showed no indirect effects through social satisfaction.
