An analysis of health education materials for minority communities by cultural and linguistic group

THIS paper examines the perceptions of needs and priorities in health education for minority communi ties (South Asian, Chinese, and Caribbean) as re flected in the 1990 Health Education Authority catalogue of health education materials. The paper also examines the distribution of leaflet and non- leaflet materials amongst the cultural and linguistic groups within these communities. A comparison is made with the previous catalogue published in 1987 to identify shifts in emphasis in health education materials for minority communities.
