              (What do you want the audiences to do after       Encourage peers to listen to DAGU
              they hear, watch, or experience this 
              communication?)
              4.  Reasons why the audience is currently         Not broadcast yet
                  not doing this? (Obstacles)                   The methodologies used to present issues related to young people

              (Choose from the obstacles the one that is 
              providing the biggest barrier to adopting 
              behaviors above)
              6.  Communication objective by audience        After the promotion of DAGU, there will be an increase in the
