The NPA's
Mission
The
National Pediculosis Association®,
Inc. (NPA) is the only non-profit health and education agency dedicated to
protecting children from the misuse and abuse of potentially harmful lice
and scabies pesticidal treatments. As part of its mission, the NPA
works to encourage our nation's health and child care professionals to
adopt standardized head lice management programs in an effort to keep the
children in school lice and nit free. Pediculosis provides an early
opportunity to teach children responsible personal health behaviors ---
lessons that become valuable as children mature into a world full of other
behavioral health threats. Communities that promote head lice prevention
programs demonstrate a commitment to health and wellness.
