Reprinting KidsHealth Content Offline (in Print)

Nemours grants limited permission to reprint articles offline (e.g., printed handouts). Organizations do not need written permission, provided all of the following guidelines are met:

  1. Provide Proper Credit to KidsHealth from Nemours. If you are reprinting KidsHealth content within a print publication, the following credit line must be included:

    Information provided by KidsHealth.org from Nemours Children’s Health. © 1995-. The Nemours Foundation/KidsHealth®. Reprinted following guidelines.

  2. Do Not Edit the Article. Nemours asks that the full article be reprinted, when feasible. If you are only interested in excerpting a section of an article, Nemours will allow this when a link to the full KidsHealth.org article is included at the end of the excerpt.

    Please note, whether reprinting the content in full or excerpting a section, the content may not be changed nor edited.

  3. Use the Printer-Friendly Version for Handouts. Nemours allows articles to be printed and used as handouts, provided they are distributed at no charge to the recipients. There is no limit to the number of copies that may be printed. Please use the "printer-friendly" version for the article, which is accessible from the link at the bottom of each article.

  4. Do Not Charge a Fee for Access to KidsHealth Content. Nemours does not permit the use of its content in an offline, fee-based scenario unless that content is being used under license (see content licensing opportunities). For publications interested in using a KidsHealth article in print for an educational textbook, subscription-based magazine, etc., please contact partnership@KidsHealth.org.

  5. Use of KidsHealth Content Is Limited. Your use of KidsHealth content is limited to reprinting no more than 10 articles. If you wish to provide your readers with regular access to KidsHealth content — such as a recurring KidsHealth column, feature, or section — we encourage you to contact partnership@KidsHealth.org to discuss licensing options.
