Abstract
There has been an increase in the prevalence of stepfamilies, and being a member of a stepfamily carries with it unique challenges. Stepfamily education programs have tried to address these specific challenges. Although it is believed these programs can have a positive influence on the lives of stepfamilies, little research has been done to evaluate the effects of such stepfamily education. The aim of this article is to address the lasting effects of stepfamily education by examining findings from qualitative interviews conducted 1 year after post-program with participants attending a research-based stepfamily program.
