A national program to advance dementia research in Vietnam
Huyen Thi Thanh Vu, Tuan Anh Nguyen, Thu Thi Hoai Nguyen, Anh Trung Nguyen, Duyen Tran, Huong Nguyen, Ladson Hinton, Thang Pham. BMC health services research, 2024-02-01
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
Over four years (2019-2023), we received 62 applications, reviewed 58 applications, and funded 21 projects (4-5 per year). Funded investigators were from diverse disciplines and institutions across Vietnam with projects on a range of topics, including biomarkers, prevention, diagnosis, neuropsychological assessment, family caregiver support, dementia education, and clinical trials. A network of 12 leading academic and research institutions nationwide has been created to facilitate dissemination. Six research training workshops have been organized and included presentations from international speakers. Grantees have published or presented their studies at both national and international levels. The mentoring program has helped grantees to build their research skills and expand their research network. This research capacity building program is the first of its kind in Vietnam and may serve as a useful model for other LMIC.

How this study scored 43/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, sample size, effect reported, studied in people and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 24 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 43 out of 100.
