Introduction: The purpose of this research was to investigate the associated factors of intention to consume healthier foods among customers in 5 provinces, applying the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Methods: A cross-sectional study with face-to-face interviews using structured questionnaires among 1,493 customers who were shopping at supermarkets and retail stores was conducted.Results: Three factors were positively associated with “intention to consume healthier foods in the coming time”, including “attitude toward consuming healthier foods” (b = 0.37), “subjective norm about consuming healthier foods” (b = 0.31), and “perceived behavioural control of consuming healthier foods” (b = 0.16). Attitudes toward consuming healthier foods were slightly more important than the subjective norm. Three factors explained 45,4% of the variance in behavioural intention. Conclusions: The study findings support the TBP predictions. Future efforts to comprehensively develop and implement interventions guided by the TPB hold promise for encouraging the intention to consume healthier foods

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.
