Summary View help for Summary

This project surveys 3,800 Mexican migrants and immigrants (MMIs) who travel through the San Diego - Tijuana border region. The study recruits MMIs from four subpopulations: returning voluntarily from the United States to Mexico; returned from the United States to Mexico by the United States Border Patrol; arriving at Tijuana from other Mexican border regions; and traveling North from other Mexican regions. These MMIs are surveyed on HIV-related practices and migration, and are tested for HIV infection. Additionally, a pilot survey (N=300) on health care access and utilization is conducted to test the feasibility of applying the proposed survey methods to the study of this and other migrant health areas. Additional information can be found at the project web site. In particular there are now two additional surveys that have been conducted as part of this study: a full scale health care access survey (n=2,285) and recently completed survey on HIV risk among deported Mexican migrants (n=2,064).
