Our study provides important preliminary data that may help improve CRCS among this Hispanic population. Interventions include providing a list of bilingual physicians in the community and to educate them regarding CRCS to mitigate the lack of physician recommendations. Notably, this study highlights the importance of cultural sensitivity and competence in preventive healthcare to promote inclusiveness of minority populations.
