A multi-center study was conducted from January to April 2022 among 349 adolescents, aged 12-18. Adverse Childhood Experience Scale and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-…
Lessons learned from Vietnam's first Covid-19 vaccine rollout
Background Vaccine hesitancy and misinformation significantly undermine pandemic preparedness. Insights from the COVID-19 vaccine rollout can inform and enhance future pandemic responses. During Vietnam's Delta outbreak in 2021, the vaccine rollout faced significant challenges including limited vaccine supply and public vaccine hesitancy, which impeded widespread coverage. Objectives This study examined levels of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, commo…

Challenges, knowledge, and skills required for family caregivers of older adults with dementia
INTRODUCTION: Most people with dementia (PwD) receive home care from their family members. Caring for PwD can be challenging; however, many family caregivers do not receive adequate training. The lack of support, knowledge, and skills in dementia care places significant physical and psychological stress on family caregivers. OBJECTIVES: This qualitative study explored the challenges faced by family caregivers in providing care for PwD and identif…
Homosexuality stigma and HIV risk behaviors among HIV-negative men who have sex with men in Vietnam
Stigma toward homosexuality plays an important role in the increased risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV among men who have sex with men (MSM). This study describes associations between three dimensions of homosexuality-related stigma (enacted, perceived and internalized) and HIV risk behaviors among HIV-negative MSM in Hanoi, Vietnam. A total of 1675 HIV-negative MSM were recruited from the baseline of a cohort study from 2017 to 2019 through …
The correlation of social support and family support with HIV-related stigma and depression in people living with HIV in Vietnam
Although the prevalence of HIV-related stigma and SOD remains common, our study showed that social support and family support are beneficial to PLWH. Therefore, developing community support projects combined with counseling and encouraging support from the families of PLWH is essential to help them overcome challenges
Using Adapt‐ITT framework to tailor evidence‐based interventions for addressing methamphetamine use among methadone patients in Vietnam
Cyber-Victimization and Its Effect on Depression in Adolescents
The difference in participants’ characteristics between samples and the inconsistency in the methodology have led to variability in both direction and magnitude of association between cyber-victimization and depression in adolescents. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the relationship between cyber-victimization and depression in adolescents. Primary studies on cyber-victimization and depression among adolescents (10–19 years …
Reliability and validity of the Vietnamese version of the Hamilton D-17 scale
The Vietnamese version of the Hamilton D-17 scale has a high level of validity and reliability. The scale should be used to assess symptoms of depression among Vietnamese patients
Strengthening national capacities for pandemic preparedness
The International Health Regulations—State Party Annual Reporting (IHR-SPAR) index and the Global Health Security Index (GHSI) have been developed to aid in strengthening national capacities for pandemic preparedness. We examined the relationship between country-level rankings on these two indices, along with two additional indices (the Universal Health Coverage Service Coverage Index and World Bank Worldwide Governance Indicator (n = 195)) and c…
Rapid impact assessments of Covid-19 control measures against the Delta variant and short-term projections of new confirmed cases in Vietnam
As of 2020, the cumulative number of COVID-19 cases recorded in Vietnam was less than 1500, proving the success of COVID-19 control in Vietnam [1]. Vietnam has been recognized as one of the few countries that successfully controlled COVID-19 in 2020 [2]. Several recent articles have summarised a set of lessons learned, the so-called “Zero-new-case-approach”. These included (i) a rapid and coordinated public health response with a decentralized he…
Prevalence of Amphetamine-Type Stimulant Use and Related Factors among Methadone Maintenance Patients in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of amphetamine-type stimulant use and associated factors among methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) patients. In 2018, a cross-sectional study was conducted on 967 MMT patients at two methadone clinics in Ho Chi Minh City that serve Vietnamese patients. Amphetamine-type stimulant use was assessed by rapid urine test and face-to-face interview using the Alcohol, Smoking, Substance Involv…
Mental Well-being, and Coping Strategies during Stress for Preclinical Medical Students in Vietnam
Inappropriate coping strategies may be key factors that have contributed to a consistently high prevalence of stress and mental disorders that have been reported worldwide, particularly in resource-limited countries. Thus, one aim of this paper is to estimate the prevalence of these inconstructive strategies, and explore more positive coping strategies through observation of undergraduate medical students in Vietnam. The methodology that has been…
Methadone maintenance treatment in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Medication adherence has become a major concern in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) worldwide, but little is known about this in Vietnam. This study aimed to identify adherence level among outpatients at district clinics in Vietnam. A cross-sectional study of 450 MMT outpatients was conducted at three clinics in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). Participants underwent face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire. Adherence was measured ba…
Unmet Healthcare Needs and Associated Factors in Rural and Suburban Vietnam

This cross-sectional study was conducted with 233 participants in a rural area. The methods included face-to-face interviews using a structured questionnaire, and anthropometric and blood pressure measurements. We considered participants to have unmet health need…
The effect of mental health screening and referral on symptoms of depression among HIV positive outpatients in Vietnam
This study investigated whether screening for symptoms of mental disorders and referral to mental health services was associated with decreased depression symptoms among people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV) in Vietnam. Four hundred PLHIV (63.5% male, mean age 34.8 (SD = 6.8) years) at two outpatient clinics in Ho Chi Minh City were interviewed by psychiatrists and also completed the Center for Epidemiologic Studies–Depression scale (CES-D). One hu…
The association between symptoms of mental disorders and health risk behaviours in Vietnamese HIV positive outpatients
While the prevalence of SOMD among HIV positive outpatients was high, most SOMD were not associated with increased HRB. Only illicit drug use was predicted by symptoms of SUD. Screening PLHIV for symptoms of SUD may be useful for detecting people likely to be engaging in illicit drug use to reduce the risk of secondary disease transmission
