Improving healthcare for people living with HIV in Vietnam
Advancing Implementation Research Capacity in Vietnam (ARC)
This study is all about finding better ways to help people living with HIV in Vietnam also manage other health issues, like heart disease and diabetes, by using what we already know about HIV care and training local healthcare workers to make a real difference in their communities.

What this research studies
This research focuses on enhancing the capacity to implement effective interventions for noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) among people living with HIV in Vietnam. It aims to leverage existing HIV health systems to integrate evidence-based interventions that can prevent and treat NCDs, which are increasingly affecting this population. The approach involves training local researchers and healthcare providers to generate actionable data that can inform policy and practice. By building strong collaborations between New York University and Hanoi University of Public Health, the program seeks to create sustainable improvements in health outcomes.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are individuals living with HIV in Vietnam who may also be at risk for noncommunicable diseases.
Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV or who do not reside in Vietnam may not receive any benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to better health management and reduced morbidity and mortality for people living with HIV in Vietnam.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown success in implementing similar evidence-based interventions in HIV care settings, indicating a promising approach.
