本文讨论了扎根理论研究的第一阶段，在该研究中，智障人士参加了焦点小组，以探讨他们的宣传和他们的宣传支持需求的定义。参与者的想法受到他们的情况、所提供的支持的可用性和类型以及他们与支持者的关系的影响。会上对倡导提出了许多不同的定义，可分为微观、中观或宏观层面的被动或主动倡导。宣传的目的被视为赋予权力，但只有在支助容易获得、侧重于人们的能力并为他们提供尽可能控制自己生活的机会时，才能做到这一点。
This article discusses the first stage of a grounded theory study in which people with intellectual disabilities participated in focus groups to explore their definitions of advocacy and their advocacy support needs. Participants' ideas were influenced by their situation, the availability and type of support offered, and their relationships with supporters. Many different definitions of advocacy were revealed which were classified as reactive or proactive advocacy at micro, meso or macro level. The aim of advocacy was seen as empowerment, but this occurred only when support was readily available, concentrated on people's abilities, and facilitated opportunities for them to exert maximum possible control over their lives.
