	abstract = {<p>This study examined primary grade teachers\&$\#$39; knowledge of head lice, perceived self-efficacy in dealing with head lice, and preferred resources of additional information on head lice. 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.</p>
