This chapter reviews social marketing and awareness approaches to sexual assault prevention with boys and men, including poster campaigns (i.e., Know Your Power) and other awareness-raising strategies such as public service announcements (i.e., It’s On Us) and advocacy groups (i.e., Men Can Stop Rape), and social norms marketing campaigns. The chapter discusses the theory and content of these approaches, as well as efficacy. This chapter also reviews several case studies.
