{blacksquare} Social stigma surrounding infection induces feelings of shame, anger and embarrassment for families

{blacksquare} Preventative health education and promotion via screening can effectively reduce the incidences of lice infection

{blacksquare} The Mosaic Model of Treatment is recommended as the most up-to-date treatment regime, suitable for use on all children

Key Words: Head lice • health promotion • infection • management • screening.
