This study aimed to determine head lice contamination and its associated factors in girl students of primary schools of Meybod in 2015-2016. Methods: This cross sectional study with descriptive-analytic approach was done in Meybod city of Yazd in the 2015-2016. school year. The samples were selected using cluster sampling method from Girl primary schools. Data collection was done by pediculosis checklist and direct observation of health experts. Data were entered into SPSS version 21 and analyzed by logistic regression test at significant level of 0. 05. Results: Of the 402 students, 59 (14. 7%) were infected with lice eggs and 7 (1. 7%) with lice. Students in first and second grades, students with illiterate or elementary education, and the students whose father had free jobs or mother was illiterate or housewives had the highest number of egg contamination. People with short and smooth hair had high rate of egg infections. There were significant correlations between lice eggs and father's education, mother's education, presence of health teacher at the school and the length of the hair (p<0. 05). Conclusion: The prevalence of the disease among students was associated with factors such as lack of health educators in the schools and lack of parents’ awareness on the problem. So educating parents on disease transmission and prevention, providing health facilities and employing health educators can play an important role to reduce pediculosis and its adverse effects.
