Ethical standards require social workers to inform participants about potential risks and reactions that could surface. This ensures that individuals can make informed decisions about their involvement in the advocacy effort and can be prepared for any consequences that may arise. While communication and cultural differences should be considered and respected, they are not the primary ethical concern in this scenario. Channeling public opinion is also not the primary ethical responsibility of the social worker, although it may be a strategy used in the advocacy effort.
