Grammar fix
public awareness
what people know about an issue
The level of knowledge or understanding that most people have about a particular topic, problem, or situation.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
The campaign helped to increase public awareness of the dangers of smoking.
In my opinion, public awareness of healthy eating has grown a lot in recent years due to social media and education programs.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: The campaign rose public awareness.
Say: The campaign raised public awareness.
'Raise' (raised) awareness — not 'rose' (which can't take an object).
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'The populace's cognisance' is absurdly formal; 'raise public awareness' is the set phrase.
