 Results: Participation in reduced mean scores obtained fate subscale injury risk group, increased their for vulnerability / severity preventability subscales (p < 0.05). Behavior significantly decreased comparison group. power present found be high all IAQ assessment.
 Conclusions: effective scientific guide helping achieve behavioral changes by evaluating attitudes.
