Although the specifics of any given controversy over adolescent pregnancy prevention are unique, the same arguments tend to surface repeatedly. When deciding on the method of advocacy, it's important to consider the audience. For instance, if most students in your high school eat lunch off campus, then tabling in the cafeteria would not be the most effective way to get your message across to the largest number of students. Buttons or posters with your message printed on them would be more effective method. Once young people have decided upon their message and intended audience, a brainstorming session could ensue.
Advocacy is an on-going process.
Advocacy is not something that you can do just once and see results. People's opinions change over time. Developing an advocacy plan that will last for a month or more is a great start, especially if you plan a meeting to discuss your efforts at the end of the first month. At the meeting, advocates can talk about what worked best, what didn't work, and review the highlights of the advocacy campaign in order to spur ideas and suggestions for how the advocacy efforts could continue into the future. They may also want to discuss if they think their advocacy efforts are working.
