education and training as a strategy for the minimization <strong>of</strong> health<br />

risks in agricultural pesticide usage.<br />

Regional collaboration is to be facilitated by a coordinated network that will<br />

improve linkage through regular meetings <strong>of</strong> the scientists, a data base <strong>of</strong><br />

relevant research, and facilities for information exchange. More specifically,<br />

the network will aid in the development <strong>of</strong> common approaches to identified<br />

problems. It has already agreed upon common core protocols for baseline KAP<br />

surveys for all three research proposals; basic specifications for personal<br />

protective equipment and knapsack sprayers; and joint development and use<br />

<strong>of</strong> training modules and communication materials.<br />

Collaborating scientists in each country have been charged with the task <strong>of</strong><br />

developing projects that will be combined into a regional proposal to solicit<br />

funding from international aid agencies. The within-country and betweencountry<br />

linkages resulting from this effort are expected to generate information<br />

and technology that directly address the need to upgrade public health<br />

and safety in the use <strong>of</strong> agropesticides in the ASEAN (Association <strong>of</strong> South<br />

East Asian Nations) region.<br />
