In this country there are more than 1 million children who find themselves in a stepfamily situation. Coping with the changes involved can be a difficult process. Health educators need to recognize the fact that many children are in this situation. Through the subunits included in the family life unit, young people can be taught how to deal with the issues involved. In so doing, health education will be addressing another major family life problem in our society.
