seen in recognizing clinical signs of animal disease, in understanding the proper chain of events that should occur in the event of an agricultural emergency and in increasing overall awareness of agrosecurity. Data from these sessions were used to revise the curriculum. The revisions include combining the animal and plant pathogen topics into one module and adding a CARVER + Shock Risk Assessment (8) activity to expand the food industry module. In addition, the modules have served as the basis for development of an on-line, password protected course on agrosecurity awareness. The broad range of occupations of those who attended these sessions indicates a wide interest in protecting agricultural and food systems and illustrates the need for more in-depth training on each topic targeted to specific audience sub-groups. Certain groups, such as food inspectors, manufacturers and foodservice personnel, were underrepresented in the audience. This project can serve as a model for other states and/or nations interested in designing and conducting agrosecurity awareness training.

CONCLUSIONS
This project was designed as an awareness level education initiative to introduce audiences to risks and vul-

nerabilities of the food and agricultural sectors. As such, the curriculum developed as a part of this project offered a broad introduction to a variety of topics. The limitation of such a project is that awareness does not necessarily translate into behavior change. However, it is an important first step in helping individuals recognize potential risks and identify appropriate authorities to notify and courses of action to take if a possible adverse event is suspected. Results indicated that the greatest improvements were
