Once you have decided to act, you will need to select an issue or problem you want to
tackle. In looking at various options, you should consider applying a set of criteria to
issues that concern you.
The fact that something is a big problem is not sufficient to make it a good candidate for
advocacy action. A variety of contextual factors will affect topic choice; for example,
knowledge of a reasonable solution for the problem. Developing a set of selection criteria
is often helpful (see Advocacy Tip 1 below).
