Question:
I work as a Community Health Worker for a non-profit organization and wanted to use the Action Plan as a template. I also frequently see other tools I would like to use. I noticed the works on this site are licensed according to the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 United States License. Does this allow for my use and dissemination to the internal workgroup? According to what I read it seems that it would not pose an issue but due to my position being a paid one, I wanted to be on the safe side. Please advise.
Answer:

   Thanks for writing to us, and for your question about using our materials. We appreciate your thoughtfulness here.   
   The Community Tool Box does in fact have a Use Policy, at https://ctb.ku.edu/en/use-policy. It’s on a menu tab at the bottom of our home page, though granted one might have to look a bit for it. But as we understand your intended use, it would fall under paragraph #2 in that policy, which means you would be free to use and copy materials for non-commercial use within your internal workgroup.
    Please do credit us when you use our materials.  In this case, something like “Adapted from the Community Tool Box, https://ctb.ku.edu, by permission” should be fine.
    We hope this is helpful to you.  Thanks again for being in touch, and all best wishes for continued success in your important work.
