The objective of this New Mexico Border Health Report is to document the differences in demographics, risk behaviors and health outcomes in New Mexico’s three counties (Doña Ana, Luna and Hidalgo) that are contiguous with the U.S.-Mexico border compared to those of the other 30 non-border counties in the State.
The main purpose of this report is to provide a framework for border region public health goals and the actions needed to improve the health of U.S. and México border residents. This is aligned with the Commission’s mission to provide international leadership that optimizes health and quality of life along the U.S.-México border.
