Wellcome Open Research
This article summarises a recent virtual meeting organised by the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Vietnam on the topic of climate change and health, bringing local partners, faculty and external collaborators together from across the Wellcome and Oxford networks. Attendees included invited local and global climate scientists, clinicians, modelers, epidemiologists and community engagement practitioners, with a view to setting priorities, identifying
synergies and fostering collaborations to help define the regional
climate and health research agenda. In this summary paper, we
outline the major themes and topics that were identified and what will
be needed to take forward this research for the next decade. We aim
to take a broad, collaborative approach to including climate science in
our current portfolio where it touches on infectious diseases now, and
more broadly in our future research directions. We will focus on
strengthening our research portfolio on climate-sensitive diseases,
and supplement this with high quality data obtained from internal
studies and external collaborations, obtained by multiple methods,
ranging from traditional epidemiology to innovative technology and
artificial intelligence and community-led research. Through timely
agenda setting and involvement of local stakeholders, we aim to help
support and shape research into global heating and health in the
region.

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.
