Abstract B73: Examining colorectal cancer screening barriers and facilitators though a cultural lens: A mixed methods study of Chinese and Korean Americans

These findings can inform the development of more effective CRC screening programs and interventions that are culturally and linguistically tailored to these populations.Citation Format: Sunmin Lee, Mary Jung, Xiaoxiao Lu, Jamie Sim, Diane Ng.
