Participants randomized to the intervention group will: * receive a customized patient-centered, culturally appropriate education program * participate in eight (8) education sessions * be given booklet with colorectal cancer education and nutrition education to use as a workbook Researchers will compare colorectal cancer knowledge, perceptions, self-care, and social norms scores and dietary indices of the intervention group to the control group immediately and 6-months post intervention to see if the education program increased colorectal cancer knowledge and screenings and changes in dietary habits.
