Primary health prevention regarding social participation for newly arrivedimmigrants is needed to address challenges when responding to the needs of suchimmigrants in their new and vulnerable situation. The aim of this study was to describe socialparticipation as reported by civil servants and volunteers working with newly arrivedimmigrants in Sweden. Open-ended data collected in a Delphi project targeting civil servantsand volunteers working within the policy establishment programme was used. Qualitativecontent analysis was conducted. The findings show that several interacting factors contributeto resources that create perquisites for “going native in the community” and “being part ofeveryday life” as points of perquisites for how civil servants and volunteers elaborate onsocial participation for newly arrived immigrants. A focus on the “here and now” and avoidingmeasures that “put life on hold” are two points of aspects that generate possibilities forpromoting social participation in health services.
