Survey data from a three-wave mailing (M = 292; 60%) found that teachers needed more knowledge regarding head lice and were significantly more knowledgeable as teaching experience increased. A plurality (46%) had high efficacy expectations scores regarding their ability to control the spread of head lice. Most (71%) primary teachers reported they received most of their head lice information from school nurses. Most (63%) said they would like more information on how to prevent head lice infestation, and they wanted the information in the form of videotapes (68%) and brochures (51%). Only 23% provided yearly instruction regarding head lice.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">9</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">44898</style></accession-num><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LR: 20041117; JID: 0376370; ppublish0022-4391Journal</style></notes></record></records></xml>
