Background: Methamphetamine use could jeopardize the current efforts to address opioid use disorder and HIV infection. Evidence-based behavioral interventions (EBI) are effective in reducing methamphetamine use. However, evidence on optimal combinations of EBI is limited. This protocol presents a type-1 effectiveness-implementation hybrid design to evaluate the effectiveness, cost-effectiveness of adaptive methamphetamine use interventions, and their implementation barriers in Vietnam. Method: Design: Participants will be first randomized into two frontline interventions for 12 weeks. They will then be placed or randomized to three adaptive strategies for another 12 weeks. An economic evaluation and an ethnographic evaluation will be conducted alongside the interventions. Participants: We will recruit 600 participants in 20 methadone clinics. Eligibility criteria: (1) age 16+; (2) Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test (ASSIST) scores ≥ 10 for methamphetamine use or confirmed methamphetamine use with urine drug screening; (3) willing to provide three pieces of contact information; and (4) having a cell phone. Outcomes: Outcomes are measured at 13, 26, and 49 weeks and throughout the interventions. Primary outcomes include the (1) increase in HIV viral suppression, (2) reduction in HIV risk behaviors, and (3) reduction in methamphetamine use. COVID-19 response: We developed a response plan for interruptions caused by COVID-19 lockdowns to ensure data quality and intervention fidelity

Zoonotic diseases (ZDs) are important contributors of infectious disease burden especially in developing
nations. In Tanzania, several factors have been associated with the distribution of ZDs among different populations.
This review aimed at describing such a pattern together with their associated socio-economic factors. The search
for relevant articles was carried in PubMed/MedLine with additional hand searched articles through Google and
Google-Scholar. We identified a total of 1,087 relevant articles, 27 of which met our inclusion criteria. Our findings
showed that the prevalence of Brucellosis, Leptospirosis, Q Fever, Rift Valley Fever, Cysticercosis, Echinococcosis,
Schistosomiasis, Toxoplasmosis, Fascioliasis and Cryptosporidiosis were 0.6 - 48.4%, 10 - 33.9%, 5 - 20.3%, 4.5 -
5.2%, 2.7 - 16.7%, 11.3%, 15.8 - 63.91%, 57.7%, 21% and 4.3% respectively, depending on geographical locations.
On other hand, levels of education, occupation, residence and ethnicity were associated with increased risks of ZDs
in Tanzania. This review reinforces the need for more resilient surveillance and monitoring systems that can offer
quality data for evidence-based policing. Likewise, it underscores the neglected burdens of most ZDs in Tanzania.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected both physical health and mental health of Health Care Workers (HCWs), which should be prioritized to analyze to better understand the associated factors that could affect their mental health and to help improve the working conditions and tailor suitable interventions of the multi - variant coronavirus. The scoping review method is used to describe existing literature and other sources of information, commonly includes findings from different study designs and methods, following PRISMA-ScR. All 39 reviewed studies indicated the prevalence of popular mental health problems as consequences of COVID-19 on HCWs, including depression, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorders, stress and anxiety. Main associated factors are ranged from low - to high - risk, including fears of getting infected, long working hours and intensive night shifts, insufficient personal protective equipment, isolation from family and friends, lack of social supports, reading COVID-19 related news. A small portion of HCWs reported with positive health outcomes thanks to their good self-coping strategies to fight off bad influence of COVID-19. Mental health of HCWs is important in COVID-19 pandemic. This review provides evidence for researchers and policy makers to develop guidelines, evidence-based intervention, and policies to back up healthy working conditions and a work-life balance of HCWs.

This cross-sectional study was conducted nationwide with a sample size of 9.781 participants in order to describe the prevalence of depression and anxiety among Vietnamese youth (15-24 years old) during a COVID-19 outbreak and associated factors. The 21-item Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale was used in this study. Results showed that 10% of the Vietnamese youth exhibited mild to extremely severe depression and 15.6% reported mild to extremely severe anxiety. Particularly, 1% of participants reported having severe or extremely severe symptoms of depression and 2.6% having severe or extremely severe symptoms of anxiety. Being christian or of other marital status or living in urban areas or having near poor or poor household income were all associated with increased depression among young people. Meanwhile, youth who were female, of ethnic minorities, Buddhist, Christian, or single, lived in urban areas, had only an elementary education, or had near low or low household income reported more anxiety symptoms. Findings from this study call for appropriate interventions to improve the mental health of the young population, especially in the context of COVID-19 pandemic

This study aimed to describe mental health service utilization and examine associated factors among students in Vietnam. Data were collected at eight universities in Hanoi, Vietnam, in 2018 using an administered questionnaire. The total number of participants was 9,120 (95.1% response rate). Among stu dents participating in our survey, 12.5% (95% CI: 10.9–14.1) with depression and/or anxiety symptoms used mental health service in the last 12 months. In the multivariable regression models, significant factors associated with mental health ser vice utilization were marital status, types of housemate, men tal health problems, physical activity, smoking status, and alcohol drinking. Our study made recommendations to stake holders for improving mental health services utilization among students in Vietnam. These findings had important implica tions for future research on factors associated with mental health service utilization among university students.
