to emergency department, sample size was (372). Tools of data collection: Two tools were used,
tool (1) interviewing questionnaire and tool (2) assess attitude of rural population regarding rabies by
using Likert scale. Results: 66.9% of the studied sample had a poor total level of knowledge level
about rabies at pre-program implementation, moreover, 74.5% of them had good total knowledge
level at post program implementation. 17.7% of the studied sample had satisfactory total practices
level toward prevention from rabies pre-program implementation and this percentage increased to
82.3% post program implementation. 25.0% of the studied sample had positive total attitude level
toward rabies pre-program implementation and this percentage increased to 86.6% post program
