Editorial

This first issue of set: Research Information for Teachers 2006 begins what will be a stimulating series for the year. We are fortunate to have writers who bring leading-edge research to our attention and so enable us to pass on to you evidence-based information on issues of emerging importance. Last year we brought you topical research on text bullying and later this year we will bring you so far unpublished research on a key health issue for schools—hand hygiene. Look for this in issue No.2, due out in the middle of the year.
