inhabitants

public charge - Answer✔️✔️-A U.S. policy that threatens deportation for
immigrants who do not contribute to society, or are considered a burden
on society (e.g. those who do not hold jobs and rely on public welfare for
support)
acculturation - Answer✔️✔️-Cultural modification of an individual, group,
or people by adapting to or borrowing traits from another culture. This
typically increases with the length of residence in a new country.
immigrant paradox - Answer✔️✔️-Foreign-born populations tend to be
healthier than their U.S.-born counterparts, despite the fact that immigrants
tend to have a lower socioeconomic status (income and education)
positive immigrant selectivity - Answer✔️✔️-The hypothesis that there is a
selection effect that explains better health in immigrants; people who
immigrate to the U.S. may have more health advantages, in general, than
those who do not immigrate (e.g. health behaviors or even social factors
that protect health).
primary prevention - Answer✔️✔️-efforts to reduce or control
disease/injury before any symptoms exist. The assumption is that the
individual does not have a disease/injury, so the focus is on reducing risk
and keeping the individual disease/injury free. An example is the use of
seatbelts to prevent injuries or death from motor vehicle accidents, or
brushing your teeth to prevent cavities
