Abstract
We enrolled 345 fourth-grade students in a classroom-randomized, controlled trial to evaluate a school-based West Nile virus health education program's impact on knowledge, attitudes, and personal protective behavior use. Immediate and sustained improvements in West Nile virus knowledge and greater frequencies of reported personal protective behaviors resulted from the educational intervention.
