The document summarizes a study on risk factors for Pediculosis capitis (head lice infection) at a boarding school in Gresik, Indonesia. The study found weak correlations between knowledge/attitudes/actions and the infection, as well as between living expenses/actions and the infection. It also found a weak correlation between room occupancy density and infection risk. The study concluded room density should be reduced to help prevent Pediculosis capitis, with at least 8 square meters per 2 people.
