Martha Rojo's research focuses on public health issues, with a particular emphasis on the Hispanic community and infectious diseases. She has investigated sociodemographic factors influencing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, fear of infection, and protection self-efficacy. Her work also examines barriers and facilitators to COVID-19 vaccination within the Hispanic community and explores preferred COVID-19 testing locations in Arkansas. Rojo has studied the decline in mental health treatment offered in Spanish and how state differences in Hispanic population proportion correlate with these trends. Additionally, her research includes assessing the beliefs and expectations of pregnant Hispanic women regarding neuraxial analgesia and examining factors influencing participation in tribally-administered WIC programs.
