Abstract
Adolescent substance use is typically addressed from the perspectives of school personnel (e.g., teachers, school counselors, social workers, and resource officers) who interact daily with students in school settings. Consequences of adolescent substance use in the schools may include suspension or expulsion and possible legal involvement. However, many adolescents do not have access to evidence-based treatment to address drug and alcohol use. Services are often not available or fragmented, resulting in poor compliance with treatment and inadequate treatment outcomes for youth. Cross-sector collaboration among schools, community behavioral health agencies, and juvenile court service units offers an opportunity to improve access to care and efficiency in delivering care to adolescents with drug and alcohol problems. Illuminated through a single case study, embedded substance use treatment in schools through partnerships with the court service unit and community behavioral health providers can increase access to care. Counselors and social workers play a key role in advocating for joint efforts to increase service access and improve treatment outcomes. Advocacy efforts may include participation and leadership in community coalitions, training and consultation in evidence-based practices, and seamless communication across all organizations that serve youth with substance use disorders.

There is a well-researched relationship between sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction, and recent literature has explored how body image impacts this relationship. The purpose of this study was to assess the degree to which the body dissatisfaction-sexual satisfaction-relationship satisfaction causal sequence varied at levels of pornography use and depression. Mechanical Turk data from a related study was used to explore three sets of hypotheses for the variables' relationships. Surprising results prompted the exploration of a three-way interaction outside of the original hypotheses. The exploratory analysis revealed that the moderating impact of pornography use on the relationship between body dissatisfaction, sexual satisfaction, and relationship satisfaction depends on the level of depression. These findings carry important implications for research and clinical practice.
