(born in Turkey, Morocco and Suriname). Between FebruaryJuly 2014. Amsterdam (North Holland) All respondents felt susceptible to CRC. Knowledge about screening harm and self-efficacy to participate was low. Adult children acted as important mediators. The language and low literacy formed serious barriers to informed participation.
