    Abstract
    Specific Aims: To identify which medications and/or medical services are being sought most frequently, the reason for these specific instances of medical tourism, perceived efficacy or satisfaction of these medications and services, and the likelihood of people continuing to receive their healthcare in Mexico. Methods: Utilizing a cross-sectional survey design, 427 participants were recruited to participate in an anonymous electronic 12 question survey at or near the US-Mexico border at the Andrade port of entry. Main Results: Most participants had a high-school diploma or four-year university degree, and the most common income bracket reported was between $25,000-$50,000 annually. Respondents reported traveling from four different countries, and of those from the US, 29 different home states were reported. The average age of participants was 64.5, with a range between 19 and 93. Dental was the most common medical service, and antibiotics were the most common class of medications reported on the survey. The majority of participants stated comparable or better efficacy of Mexican products, and expressed intent to continue to participate in medical tourism. Conclusions: Based on the survey, patients feel as though these medications are just as good as what they would get in the states and will continue to buy them until research proves otherwise. Further research should be done to determine if these medications purchased in Mexico are indeed what they claim to be.
