    Open AccessPhilippe Trouiller, Sao Mai Le et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2025

    Costs for a community-based psychiatric intervention were very low in our study. This data can be used by policy makers in Vietnam to improve a mental health system that is poorly developed and expensive for the patient

  • Strained patient-provider relationship, unmotivated workforce, financial constraints, and stigma

    Nguyễn Thu Trang, Nguyen Huu Anh et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnicity in Substance…2025

    This study examined current mental health practices in methadone treatment in Vietnam. We conducted 23 interviews with participants with methadone experiences ( n = 12), methadone physicians ( n = 6), counselors ( n = 5), and one focus group with family members. Mental health issues were primarily identified through casual observation, on-site support was limited, and referrals to psychiatric care were rarely pursued. Four factors shaped this sit…

  • Utility of self-report antiretroviral adherence for predicting HIV viral load among persons who inject drugs in Hai Phong Vietnam

    Jonathan Feelemyer, Don C Des Jarlais et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2024

    In resource-limited settings, alternatives to HIV viral load testing may be necessary to monitor the health of people living with HIV. We assessed the utility of self-report antiretroviral therapy (ART) to screen for HIV viral load among persons who inject drugs in Hai Phong Vietnam, and consider differences by recent methamphetamine use. From 2016 to 2018 we recruited PWID through cross sectional surveys and collected self-report ART adherence a…

  • Gender, homelessness, hospitalization and methamphetamine use fuel depression among people who inject drugs

    Open AccessLionel Moulis, Sao Mai Le et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Depression is alarmingly frequent in PWID. In this study taking in account the chronological relationship between sociodemographic and clinical factors and depression, risk factors were identified in this specific setting of low-to-middle income country. The findings highlight the need to develop innovative targeted psychiatric interventions with the help of supporting peers

  • Mental Disorders Are Associated With Leukocytes Telomere Shortening Among People Who Inject Drugs

    Open AccessMélusine Durand, Nicolas Nagot et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2022

    Premature biological aging, assessed by shorter telomere length (TL) and mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations, has been reported among people with major depressive disorders or psychotic disorders. However, these markers have never been assessed together among people who inject drugs (PWIDs), although mental disorders are highly prevalent in this population, which, in addition, is subject to other aggravating exposures. Diagnosis of mental disor…

  • Gender Differences in HIV, HCV risk and Prevention Needs Among People who Inject drug in Vietnam

    Open AccessHoang Thi Giang, Nguyen Quang Duc et al.ARTICLEAIDS and Behavior2022

    We examined gender differences among people who inject drug (PWID) in Hai Phong, Vietnam in term of blood-borne infections, risk behaviors, and access to care. Using respondent-driven-sampling surveys, we recruited 3146 PWID from 2016 to 2018. Inclusion criteria included a positive urine test for heroin and recent injection marks. There were 155 female PWID (4,9%), including 82 at RDS-2016, 32 at RDS-2017 and 38 at RDS-2018. The age mean was 36.3…

  • Maintaining HIV and HCV prevention and care for people who inject drugs despite Covid‐19 in Hai Phong, Vietnam”

    Open AccessHoang Thi Giang, Nguyen Quang Duc et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Drug…2022

    The case of Hai Phong shows that it is possible, during times of COVID-19 pandemic, to maintain access to harm reduction and care and to prevent HIV and HCV transmission among PWID in a resource-limited setting where severe social distancing restrictions are implemented. Further research is needed to assess the consequences of long-term economic difficulties and the impact of actual spread of SARS-Cov2 that has since emerged in Haiphong

  • Quand le vert divise le jaune

    Jean-Yves Dormagen, Laura Michel et al.ARTICLEÉcologie & politique2021

    Cet article analyse les rapports entre les Gilets jaunes et l’écologie sur la base d’une approche quantitative échantillonnée. Nos résultats montrent que les Gilets jaunes entretiennent le même rapport à l’écologie que le reste de la population. Ils adhèrent, eux aussi, dans leur très grande majorité au paradigme du changement climatique mais sont profondément divisés sur les réponses à apporter et l’adoption de mesures clivantes. Notre enquête c…

  • “My first 48 hours out”

    Open AccessDaniela Jamin, Wouter Vanderplasschen et al.ARTICLEHarm Reduction Journal2021

    BACKGROUND: Prisoners report much higher prevalence rates of drug use and more harmful consumption patterns than the general population. People who use drugs have above-average experiences with the criminal justice system in general, and the prison system and subsequent release situations in particular. Release from prison is associated with increased mortality rates among drug users due to the risk of overdose. The EU-funded project 'My first 48…

  • Les malentendus liés à la réduction des risques en prison

    Open AccessMarie Dos Santos, Laura Michel et al.ARTICLEAnthropologie et santé2021

    Cet article s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une recherche collective sur les malentendus liés à la mise en place d’outils de réduction des risques infectieux en prison. À partir d’une présentation du programme PRI2DE et des différentes étapes de l’enquête ethnographique menée au sein de la maison d’arrêt des Baumettes à Marseille, il examine la place accordée à la réduction des risques (RdR) en prison.

  • Continuity of care for drug users in prison and beyond

    Open AccessHeino Stöver, Daniela Jamin et al.ARTICLEInternational Social Work2021References: 2

    Social work in prisons is linked to specific tasks regarding the care for the people who are incarcerated. A multi-country qualitative study was set up to explore drug users’ and professionals’ perceptions of continuity of care in prison and beyond. It has been pointed out that continuity of care is associated with different barriers, especially regarding social work. Nevertheless, good practice examples do exist and could be implemented by socia…

  • Increased Methamphetamine Use among Persons Who Inject Drugs in Hai Phong, Vietnam, and the Association with Injection and Sexual Risk Behaviors

    Jonathan Feelemyer, Huong Duong Thi et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychoactive Drugs2018

    Methamphetamine use has increased significantly in Southeast Asia in the last 5-10 years, but there is little research on risk behaviors associated with the increase in this region. We evaluate injection and sexual risk behaviors associated with current methamphetamine use among heterosexual persons who inject drugs (PWID) in Hai Phong, Vietnam. We recruited 1336 PWID and assessed associations between methamphetamine use, injection and sexual ris…

  • Comprendre la faible participation des agriculteurs à la gouvernance territoriale

    Laura Michel, Christophe Toussaint Soulard et al.ARTICLERevue européenne des sciences…2018Cited by: 2References: 1

    La montée en puissance des territoires de projet caractérise les politiques de développement rural. L’article analyse pourquoi les agriculteurs participent peu à ces projets. Si la question des tensions entre priorité sectorielle et transversalité territoriale est bien documentée, celle des modalités de participation des agriculteurs est moins connue. Or, nous montrons que l’offre de participation correspond mal aux habitudes organisationnelles d…

    Porté par les industries agroalimentaires, le système alimentaire dominant actuellement n'est pas durable. Les études et les expertises se multiplient pour en montrer les limites en termes d'usage des ressources, de distanciation, de santé, d'équité, d'emploi etc... Face à ces constats, des acteurs publics ou privés se mobilisent et l'on voit émerger des initiatives où les " gouvernements urbains " apparaissent comme de plus en plus actifs et pui…

  • Drug use in prisons

    Open AccessLaura Michel, Laurent MichelARTICLECiência & Saúde Coletiva2016

    The existence of risky practices related to drug use inside prisons is a reality everywhere and is a major issue for the community as a whole. The level of implementation of harm reduction (HR) measures recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is very often poor and reveals inadequate concern about public health issues in the prison environment, without any respect for the princip…
