The "healthy migrant effect" observed in culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) populations occurs because:

  1. Traditional diets are always healthier than Australian food choices
  2. Government health screening and selection processes favour healthier migrants
  3. Overseas healthcare systems provide better preventive care than Australia
  4. Cultural practices completely protect against Australian lifestyle diseases

\(B\)

Show Worked Solution
  • B is correct: Government selects migrants based on health, education, language and job skills plus health screening requirements.

Other Options:

  • A is incorrect: Traditional diets help initially but healthy migrant effect is due to selection processes.
  • C is incorrect: The effect results from Australian selection criteria not overseas healthcare quality.
  • D is incorrect: Cultural practices help but don’t provide complete protection and effect can disappear over time.
