Hedrin
Research shows mums’ dramatically different attitudes to head lice
Two kinds of mums, two views of head lice
Research explored the views of two different mum segments with a clear shared goal, but very different feelings:
- ‘Anxious new mums’ first time users of head lice treatments, with strongly negative feelings
- ‘Resigned mums’ who had faced head lice before and accepted the issue as a mild annoyance
Anxious mums feel a real stigma around their children’s head lice – so they’re less likely to tell the school (bad news for other mums). They feel disappointed, nervous, panicky even. They are willing to pursue a cure immediately, and more likely to treat their child on suspicion rather than hard evidence.
Resigned mothers see head lice as an ongoing problem, a fact of life. They’re more interested in preventative measures like regular checks, combing and tying back hair.
