Integrating evidence-based methamphetamine interventions into methadone clinics
Minority Communities "Trapped" in Migration Waves in Vietnam
Vietnam’s ethnic minorities face significant climate and poverty challenges that drive youth migration while leaving the elderly behind; yet, limited skills and geographic isolation entrap many, particularly within the country's 14 smallest ethnic groups. This policy-descriptive study analyzed post-COVID-19 national data to assess these populations, examining how gender, age, and cultural barriers contribute to their economic immobility. Findings…
Strained patient-provider relationship, unmotivated workforce, financial constraints, and stigma
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…
When she's there, I no longer worry about her being arrested”—Family perspectives on compulsory drug rehabilitation in Vietnam and implications for community-based services
Navigating cultural and gender aspects of stigma among women living with HIV in Vietnam
Women living with HIV often face intersecting challenges of stigma and gender inequality. In Vietnam, this issue is potentially exacerbated by the patriarchal culture. From December 2021 to March 2022, we conducted in-depth interviews with 30 women living with HIV in Hanoi to better understand their experiences and the coping mechanisms to navigate HIV stigma, cultural beliefs and gender norms. The interviews explored various topics including wom…

Improving field education for social work in Vietnam
Research has identified challenges associated with the implementation of competency-based social work field education in Vietnam. However, there is limited information available from intern supervisors, who have unique perspectives at the crux of social work training and service delivery. An exploratory phenomenological qualitative approach was used to explore their experiences and perceptions through online interviews. Four categories were ident…
Productivity and its decompositions of Vietnamese higher education institutions
This study makes use of recent evidence from developing countries by which to evaluate the effectiveness of private higher education institutions (HEIs), comparing them with public HEIs. In this way, it contributes to the literature by providing the first evaluation of productivity and its components in Vietnamese HEIs. The study uses the Färe-Primont index together with a meta-frontier approach. The research results indicate that the higher educ…
Using Adapt‐ITT framework to tailor evidence‐based interventions for addressing methamphetamine use among methadone patients in Vietnam
Challenges of methadone maintenance treatment decentralisation from Vietnamese primary care providers' perspectives
America and China in the Asia-Pacific
One of the possible scenarios in Asia-Pacific is a bipolar order of two great powers, the United States and China. In this situation, alliance commitments will likely remain fixed rather than flexible. This scenario is also known as “a new kind of cold war” because both actors have many social and ideological differences that will often be emphasized in the competition for the geopolitical position. Three main questions are addressed in this stud…
Stigma as a barrier to integrated substance use and HIV care in Vietnam
Integration of substance use disorder (SUD) treatment and HIV care can increase antiretroviral therapy coverage among people with opioid use disorder (OUD). However, implementation of integrated treatment models remains limited. Stigma towards people with OUD poses a barrier to initiation of, and adherence to, HIV treatment. We sought to understand the extent of stigma towards SUD and HIV among people with OUD in Vietnam, and the effect of stigma…
Maintaining HIV and HCV prevention and care for people who inject drugs despite Covid‐19 in Hai Phong, Vietnam”
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
“I’m not like others”
Background: People who inject drugs are subjected to great stigmatization in many parts of the world. How they deal with stigma is closely linked to how stigma means to them. Understanding the strategies individuals employ to cope with these negative attitudes and what resources they mobilize in this process gives useful insights for clinical work and policy development. Methods: We conducted 12 months of field observation in 2017 and 2018 and 54…

How to be self-reliant in a stigmatising context? Challenges facing people who inject drugs in Vietnam
Influence of ethnic culture in choosing the learning type of ethnic minorities
One of the concerns in improving the quality of minority education in multicultural nations is how to choose the appropriate types of learning for different ethnic groups, especially when such decision can be constrained their cultural diversity. This paper aims to analyze the effect of cultural differences on selecting types of learning for ethnic minorities; thus, recommending some ethic-specific policies to better utilize the manpower resource…
Struggling to achieve a ‘normal life’
Buddhism-based charity, philanthropy, and social work
Private and public social services, including social work centers, are limited to disadvantaged Vietnamese people, such as orphans and people with HIV/AIDS. Buddhism-based organizations (BBOs) have been acknowledged as an avenue to extend social services in Vietnam. This article reviews the social service system and BBOs in Vietnam using secondary data and findings from an empirical study on Buddhist charitable giving. A proposed model linking BB…
Optimistic but Confused
In 2010, the Vietnamese government officially recognized social work as a profession. This study explores whether key stakeholders in the development of social work in Vietnam (i.e. policy‐makers, pioneering educators, and practitioners) had reached a shared understanding about the mission and core values of Vietnamese social work by the end of 2015. An exploratory survey was conducted with 65 participants representing key stakeholders of social …
Protein Kinase CK2 Expression Predicts Relapse Survival in ERα Dependent Breast Cancer, and Modulates ERα Expression in Vitro
The heterotetrameric protein kinase CK2 has been associated with oncogenic transformation, and our previous studies have shown that it may affect estrogenic signaling. Here, we investigate the role of the protein kinase CK2 in regulating ERα (estrogen receptor α) signaling in breast cancer. We determined the correlation of CK2α expression with relapse free breast cancer patient survival utilizing Kaplan Meier Plotter (kmplot.com/analysis/) to min…
