 *'This is Public Health' Toolkit*

*US Association of Schools of Public Health [ASPH]  - 2008*

Toolkit: http://www.thisispublichealth.org/toolkit/

"….Most people don't understand what public health is, much less how it
impacts their daily lives. The "This Is Public Health" campaign was designed
to let people know that public health affects them on a daily basis and that
we are only as healthy as the world we live in.

The campaign utilizes stickers with the slogan "This is Public Health"
placed in strategic locations around communities to build awareness of the
many ways in which public health impacts our well being. …"

"……As part of the "This is Public
Health<http://www.thisispublichealth.org/>"campaign,
ASPH has developed the *This is Public Health toolkit* to which will serve
as a resource for anyone who is interested in educating others about public
health issues or the field of public health. The materials in the toolkit
are suggestions or templates, which can either be used as is, or tailored to
suit your specific audiences.

The toolkit also includes links for other sources that can increase
knowledge of public health both inside and outside of the classroom. Through
the toolkit, we hope to provide a hub containing more information on both
the "This is Public Health " campaign and the field as a whole. Materials
will be provided that target a range of individuals, accommodating varying
age groups and differing levels of familiarity with the field of public
health. …"
