•Using migration of Venezuelans to Peru as a case example, we surveyed migrants on mental health and migration factors at the Ecuador-Peru border.• No factors associated with anxiety; choosing Peru for safety or expected respect for Venezuelans increased odds of depression.• Walking and education increased odds of anxiety; choosing Peru decreased odds of anxiety; being pregnant increased odds of depression.•Link between migration factors and mental health is concerning, as the associated distress may influence post-migration mental health.•More work is needed to understand the influence of the journey on the mental health outcomes of migrants over time.

This collective statement, derived from experts involved in mpRCTs, outlines considerations for designing and executing such trials.

The established impact of gonadal hormone changes on anxiety risk and symptom presentation across the female lifespan underscore the need for sex- and gender-responsive management of anxiety disorders.
