Abstract	Objective: To record the views of individuals whose main professional role is community liaison on dental health education material for culturally and linguistically diverse communities. Methods: Tape-recorded interviews were undertaken, reviewed by two individuals and themes identified. Results: Twenty four individuals were interviewed out of a possible 30 potential participants. Three main themes emerged: translation and use of language; inappropriate use of illustrations; dental problems inadequately addressed. There was consensus that the majority of health education literature produced by a multitude of health care agencies was patronizing, inadequately tested and gave little thought to different end-user groups. Conclusion: Producers of dental health information literature should research their potential user groups more carefully. (As Provided).
