Candidates participating in the interviews hold PhD and/or medical degrees, meet all admission requirements, demonstrate a strong commitment to violence prevention research, possess sufficient English proficiency, and have submitted high-quality research proposals.

During the interviews, candidates presented diverse research topics concerning violence prevention in Vietnam across various contexts and target populations, including:

  • Gender-based violence and PrEP discontinuation among men who have sex with men (MSM) using PrEP: Prevalence and associated factors
  • Parental mental health and violence against children during the COVID-19 pandemic in Vietnam
  • The association between physical and sexual violence victimization, risk behaviors, and quality of life among people who inject drugs (PWID)
  • Gender-based violence in schools and conducting trials to improve the knowledge and attitudes of students and their parents

The organizing committee expects to announce the final selections in January 2022 and will complete the necessary administrative procedures to support the candidates for the 18-month training course, which commences in April 2022.
