I think the problem is that measuring the effectiveness of social change
techniques, especially in the political arena (this is about advocacy,
right?), isn't all that easy. The link between technique > Application >
result is full of confounding variables and alternative possibilities. It
is easy to see when something happens, much more work to substantiate the
cause.

I find many usability surveys that test for how the interface is usable
or
not - but they dont necessarily test for the effectiveness of content
in
relation to conveying the social change and advocacy part
This describes information science in a nutshell. Can i steal?
