SamenvattingThis study analyzed the individual characteristics of Central American trans‐migrants relevant to their socio-economic background, sex and age, combined with other societal, environmental and structural factors, identified from literature as potential sources of social vulnerability and ill health, that are attributable to their transit through México. The findings showed that traveling undocumented through Mexican territory has a direct negative effect in the health and wellbeing of individual trans‐migrants. Recommendations to further health‐related research among this population group were provided by the researcher.
