Recent global health projects
Most recently, I co-led the VinCohort Study, a longitudinal study of approximately 50,000 adults and their families in Vietnam. Before joining the faculty at VinUniversity, I started a Refugee Health research group which is working with the Cochrane Library to publish a Cochrane Systematic Review of community-based interventions that support the mental health and wellbeing of refugees in resettlement countries.
