Reports
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.
The purpose of this survey is to determine current patient usage of cannabis and current production of cannabis in New Mexico. Since the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act was passed, the number of patients has increased to 9760. In order to better serve the patients in the program, the New Mexico Department of Health has commissioned this survey to help arrive at approximate levels of usage and production.
