Guidelines for Ordering NDEP Materials for Community Health Events

NDEP encourages you to use its free diabetes education materials at your next community health event and to feature NDEP campaigns, messages, and materials at your exhibit table or booth. All materials may be downloaded, reproduced, and distributed without copyright restrictions. Feel free to duplicate and disseminate as many copies of these materials as desired. Here’s some information to help you get started.

How do I order NDEP materials?

Many materials can be ordered in quantities as large as 200 copies, and the first 25 copies of most materials are free. The NDEP Publication Order Form* addresses the quantity available for each NDEP material. Additionally, commercial printer-ready CDs are available for most materials. You can provide these CDs directly to a printer as is, or add your organization’s logo and contact information. To order printer-ready CDs for a specific NDEP material, call the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse at 1-800-860-8747.

Remember that single copies of materials are free. Shipping and handling fees are included in the price of all materials. Please allow three to five weeks for delivery. Bulk orders must be prepaid in U.S. dollars in form of a check, money order, purchase order, or credit card. You may also send a U.S. Postal Money Order or a check instead of using a credit card. However, personal checks will delay your order as the clearinghouse must wait for your funds to clear before any merchandise is shipped. Please allow an additional seven to 10 business days.

Order online by visiting NDEP’s online publications catalog at www.YourDiabetesInfo.org/diabetes/pubs/catalog.htm and follow these steps:

1. Browse the publication(s) available from the NDEP catalog.
2. Select the desired quantity from the drop-down menu.
3. Click “Add to Cart” to order from the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse. Note: To order multiple publications, click the “Back” button in your browser, and repeat Step 3 (above) for each publication desired.
4. To complete your order, click “Check Out” on the NDIC website, and enter all information before clicking “Submit.”

NDEP also has an online Spanish-language publications catalog available.

Order by phone by calling 1-888-693-NDEP (6337). Both English and Spanish-speaking consumers can order materials from this number.

Order by fax or mail by printing the order form and completing the required fields. Then either fax the form to 1-703-738-4929 or mail it to:

What if someone at a community health event would like to order more NDEP materials?

Anyone can order NDEP materials. If you’re afraid you might run out of materials at an event, make copies of the NDEP Publications Order Form* to hand out. Event participants can then use the form to order more materials on their own.
 

NDEP materials are copyright-free, but what about logos?

The NDEP logo appears on all NDEP products and materials. Individuals and organizations are encouraged to reprint the materials and add their own logo. Products and materials that are not developed by or in partnership with NDEP should not display the NDEP logo.

NDEP’s campaign logos are also copyright-free and can be downloaded for use. Logos are available in three different resolutions:

• 72 dots per inch (dpi) is low resolution, GIF format, and appropriate for web pages
• 150 dpi is medium resolution, RGB TIFF format, and appropriate for color laser printers and newspaper printing
• 300 dpi is high resolution, RGB TIFF format, and appropriate for professionally printed magazine ads and other publications. Most print publications prefer images that are at least 300 dpi.

Feel free to download these campaign logos and use them and NDEP materials during community health exhibits or conferences. You can even take these logos to a professional office or print center and have them incorporate NDEP campaign information onto banners or other public displays.

For more information, see NDEP’s logo use policy*.
 

Where can I go for additional diabetes education materials?

Visit the National Diabetes Information Clearinghouse for more diabetes education materials at www.catalog.niddk.nih.gov. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of Diabetes Translation has additional diabetes education materials available at www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs.

You might also want to talk to your state Diabetes Prevention & Control Program, regional office of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or local Area Agency on Aging to find additional resources for an event.
