确定和分析与移民在墨西哥过境时遭受暴力的决定有关的因素，继续他们的旅程或返回。定量与定性相结合的横断面研究。对862名移徙者进行了社会人口和健康特征以及与决定继续旅行有关的暴力类型和因素的研究。采访了35名移民，探讨他们对移民的看法、原籍国的社会经济和政治局势、风险、经历的暴力以及继续旅行的决定。在862名移民中，21.1%的人在从墨西哥前往美国的途中遭遇了暴力。其中，88.5%的人决定继续他们的旅程。这一决定与年龄（OR = 1.075, p < 0.05）、子女数量（OR = 3.161, p < 0.10）、原籍国凶杀率（OR = 1.043, p < 0.10）和靠近北部边境呈正相关。性别、上学时间、过境天数和是否存在健康问题没有差别。继续前往美国的决定与原籍国的结构性因素有关，而与过境的风险无关。必须执行机制，在移民的整个旅程（原籍、过境和目的地）中促进和保护他们的人权。
To identify and analyze the factors associated with the decision of migrants suffering violence while in transit through Mexico, to continue on their trip or turn back. Cross-sectional study combining quantitative and qualitative analyses. Socio-demographic and health characteristics, as well as types of violence and factors associated with the decision to continue on the trip, were explored for 862 migrants. 35 migrants were interviewed to explore their perceptions of migration, socioeconomic and political situations in their countries of origin, risks, violence experienced, and the decision to continue on their trip. Of the 862 migrants, 21.1 % experienced violence during their transit through Mexico towards the USA. Of these, 88.5 % decided to continue on their journey. This decision was positively associated with age (OR = 1.075, p < 0.05), number of children (OR = 3.161, p < 0.10), homicide rate in the country of origin (OR = 1.043, p < 0.10) and proximity to the northern border. No differences were observed by sex, schooling, days in transit and the presence of health problems. The decision to continue the journey to the United States was related to structural factors in the countries of origin, rather than risks in transit. It is necessary to implement mechanisms to promote and protect the human rights of migrants during their whole journey (origin, transit and destination).
