This article is an overview of the relationship education field in Norway. We explain the roles of the national authorities and private organizations in education, and analyze achievements and challenges in the field. Involvement and economic support from the national authorities have made relationship education available to large groups of the population, though the characteristics of those who choose to attend are largely unknown. To ensure recruitment of those most in need of education, new strategies based on systematic information on barriers among different groups of the population must be developed. A variety of relationship education programs are offered by public and private organizations, with the U.S.-developed Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP) being the most widespread. We present preliminary data of an effectiveness evaluation of PREP workshops in Norway. In general, participants evaluate the workshops positively. It is important to tailor relationship education to fit the various customs, beliefs, and challenges of couples attending programs.
本文是对挪威关系教育领域的概述。我们阐述了国家当局和私人组织在教育中的作用，并分析了该领域的成就与挑战。国家当局的参与和经济支持使关系教育惠及了大量人群，不过选择参加者的特征在很大程度上尚不清楚。为确保招募到最需要教育的人群，必须制定基于不同人群障碍系统信息的新策略。公共和私人组织提供了各种各样的关系教育项目，其中美国开发的预防与关系提升项目（PREP）最为普遍。我们展示了挪威PREP工作坊有效性评估的初步数据。总体而言，参与者对工作坊评价积极。根据参加项目的夫妇的各种习俗、信仰和挑战来量身定制关系教育很重要。
