Health professionals are often confronted with situations that demand change, including a community’s inability to access adequate health care, lack of disease-specific prevention programmes, or legislators who do not understand economic and noneconomic impacts of a particular disease or prevention. In such cases, advocacy may be required to move beyond the status quo. This text provides a foundation for the initiation of advocacy efforts and for the evaluation of their success.
