Lucrecia Mena-Meléndez studies reproductive health and public attitudes toward abortion, with particular attention to how laws, stigma, and public opinion shape access and outcomes. Her work spans both the United States (including research following the Dobbs v. Jackson court decision that changed abortion law) and Latin American countries such as Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, and Peru, often examining differences by ethnicity, race, and rural-versus-urban location. She also investigates maternal and child health inequalities and the wellbeing of migrant farmworker families.
Publication activity has grown noticeably in recent years, rising from occasional papers before 2022 to a peak of eight publications in 2025.
