Background and aim: One of the most common diseases of primary school children is pediculosis (head lice). According to Health Organization reports, despite many efforts and spending a great deal, the disease has not yet been adequately controlled in different countries. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of educational intervention on knowledge, attitude and practice of students about head pediculosis among primary school girls in Torbat Heydariyeh.
Materials and Methods: In this semi experimental, controlled trial study, 272 students (136 individuals in each group) were selected by cluster random sampling.

The educational program included lecture, group discussion and role play, which was performed only in the intervention group and did not intervene in the control group. Questionnaires were completed in two groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and analyzed by SPSS software.
