Pre-measure Knowledge AIR Presentation

AIR needs your help! We are always looking to improve and want to hear what students think before and after they attend the Coming Up for AIR program. The survey will only take 5 to 10 minutes of your time and should be taken BEFORE attending the program. A separate survey will be provided for AFTER. Your answers are confidential and will be combined with those of other students in reporting group data. We need your identification ONLY to match pre and post answers. Remember you are a volunteer; you do not have to participate, but we would love to hear from you.

Read each statement carefully and show how much you agree by using the 4-point scale. Please answer honestly as there are no right or wrong answers.
