I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from American English into Latin American Spanish.
Colleagues from Spain, feel free to send me your suggestions as well. This is a translation about sociology. Is okay to translate it as generar conciencia or despertar conciencia de la necesidad crucial?

aumentar la consciencia [o conciencia] / concientizar
"Aumentar la consciencia" es la expresión que veo con mucho uso en español latinoamericano para expresar lo que se está traduciendo.
También "concientizar" (solo en Latinoamérica!); ver link a RAE provisto.
Ejemplos de uso:
https://www.google.com/search?q="aumentar la consciencia"
En la práctica, se usan intercambiablemente "consciencia" y "conciencia", aunque "conciencia" es la utilizada para "la vocecita del bien y el mal" y usos morales.
