Abstract
NASW state chapters provide a mechanism through which members can become involved in formal political and community advocacy practice. However, there is little understanding of the extent to which members are actively involved in policy and political practice and the factors that encourage or discourage participation. Through a mailed survey to state NASW chapter directors, this paper describes the extent to which members are involved in advocacy and the perceived factors which contribute to or impede participation.
