Notes: AOR = Adjusted odds ratios. Models adjust for age, gender, marital status, employment status, and residence in an urban, suburban, or rural area. Data sources: Mexicans in Mexico = 2012 Encuesta Nacional de Salud y Nutrición; northbound, southbound, and deported migrants = 2013 Project Migrante Health Care Access and Utilization Survey; Foreign-born Mexicans in the U.S. and U.S.-born Mexican Americans = 2013–2014 California Health Interview Survey.
