Mexican migrant women are the largest and fastest-growing migrant group in the United States, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. As such, access to family planning and reproductive health services for this population is critical.

Eva Moya, Ph.D., an assistant professor of social work at The University of Texas at El Paso, is studying the sexual and reproductive health needs of migrant women to identify strategies and approaches that can be used to improve access to services, and to examine the influences on health-seeking behaviors of migrant women.
