Background: Advocacy is an expectation of the nursing profession. Nursing curricula should include opportunities for advocacy skills building at multiple levels of potential effect. Analyses of student performances during these advocacy exercises provide insight into how well students understand the multifactorial nature of most public health issues.
Method: A socioecological model was used to evaluate nursing students' advocacy responses to food-insecurity scenarios during a guided online discussion activity aimed at advocacy skills building.
Results: Student recommendations were categorized as individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and policy interventions, with subcategories at each socioecological level.
Conclusion: Recommendations are given for future educational research specific to advocacy skills building. Implications for nursing education at each socioecological level also are discussed. .

Background: Historically, efforts to engage under-represented communities in health research have encountered limited success, attributable to inadequate community participation, acceptability, and ownership. Globally, an innovative strategy to foster community involvement in research is the establishment of Community Advisory Boards (CABs). These boards consist of stakeholders from the target community, providing partnership and support throughout all phases of the research, from conception to implementation and evaluation.

Author Affiliations: Marquette University College of Nursing, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Drs Schindler, Kuester, Pfister, and McDermott); and Medical College of WI/Children's WI, Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Drs Schindler, Kuester, Pfister, and McDermott).
Background: Many nurses work largely as policy implementers rather than policy developers. The literature posits several multifaceted reasons for this lack of policy acumen including interprofessional power dynamics, marginalization of nurses in policy making, and lack of formal training in public policy advocacy.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of a targeted teaching strategy on increasing political astuteness, perceived skill, and comfort in health policy advocacy among a cohort of acute care pediatric nurse practitioner students.
