| Where can I order more stickers?
You can order stickers at www.shoppublichealth.org.
How many stickers can I order?
As many as you want. The first 100 are free and more can be ordered for a nominal cost. We've had organizations order as few as 10 stickers or as many as 1500. The more stickers used that can publicize public health, the better, so don't be shy. However, please keep in mind the stickers are removable and can be reused.
How can I use the stickers?
There are various ways in which the stickers can be used. A few recommendations:
- A photo essay contest where people tell a story of public health through pictures with every picture containing the "This is Public Health" sticker.
- A scavenger hunt using stickers to mark checkpoints in a community-wide race, which can both educate the individual and have them become acclimated with the community.
- Sticker Ambush where a group picks an important public health issue and places the sticker on items representing the issue (i.e. water treatment as the issue and a water fountain as one example).
Currently, pictures involving the stickers are being posted online in the Flickr group “This is Public Health Stickers” ( www.flickr.com/groups/683857@N21/ ) and mapped at www.thisispublichealth.org/TIPHmap.html. Further instructions for posting the pictures can be found at: www.thisispublichealth.org/TIPH_instructions.pdf
Videos have also been filmed with the stickers. Many of these videos have been posted on www.youtube.com/thisispublichealth.

What other organizations are part of the "This is Public Health" campaign?
The “This is Public Health” campaign is for anyone and everyone who wants to increase an understanding and appreciation for public health. The TIPH stickers were piloted on 19 student groups at schools of public health around the country in April and since then, over 1000 public health practice organizations, individuals and other academic institutions in 45 countries have joined the campaign as well. If you know of any other organizations or individuals who would like to be part of this national message, please forward them this a link to: www.thisispublichealth.org.

Have there been any cases when using the stickers has been considered vandalism?
They were not meant to be a permanent item. The stickers have very light adhesive on the back and easily peel off for removal. They can be used to identify an image so that a photograph can be taken and posted to the flickr web site. To date, we have not heard of any legal problems regarding vandalism. Of course, in some cases, leaving them affixed to an object may be appropriate, depending on the setting, so please use your discretion when using the stickers.
We have also created a handy iPhone application that allows you to digitally insert a sticker in multiple formats and languages onto an image. http://www.thisispublichealth.org/iphoneapplication.html
