BackgroundIn order to provide essential scientific evidence on the population's health status and social health determinants as well as the current capacity of the health care system in Vietnam to health policy makers and managers, Vietnam Ministry of Health, Hanoi University of Public Health, Hanoi Medical University, and Ho Chi Minh University of Medicine and Pharmacy collaborated with Seoul National University (Korea) and conducted a health system survey in the Quoc Oai district (of Hanoi capital) that represented northern rural Vietnam.MethodsThe study design was a cross-sectional study. The survey covered different topics (more than 200 questions) and was administered in three separate questionnaires: 1) Basic information of all household members; 2) Household characteristics; and 3) Individual characteristics. Socio-demographic characteristics among the households and individuals were collected from 2,400 households sampled by multi-stage cluster sampling method: more than 200 questions.ResultsThe household size of Quoc Oai was larger than the national average and there was no significant difference in gender composition. In addition, the proportions of pre-elderly, age 55–64, and elderly group (65 years old and over) were higher than the national population statistics. In this context, demographic transition has begun in Quoc Oai.ConclusionThis study design description provides the basic information about a baseline survey of a future prospective cohort (as a part of a collaborative project on strengthening the health system in Vietnam) to the prospective data user of this survey.

Research objectives: Describe the knowledge of monkeypox among students ofHanoi Medical University in 2022; Analysis of some factors related to knowledge ofmonkeypox among students of Hanoi Medical University in 2022.Subjects and research methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study on students in9 majors from the first to the sixth year of Hanoi Medical University.Results: Out of 440 students, 26,4% passed, and 73,6% failed the monkeypoxknowledge test. Students mainly get information about Monkey Smallpox throughsocial networks and online information channels. Students answered “Do not know”about the monkeypox knowledge test questions with an average of 44%. There is astrong correlation between gender and field of study to medical student’s knowledgeabout monkeypox. Regarding gender, the knowledge rate achieved in men was4,725 times higher (95% CI: 3,01 - 7,41; p<0,001). Regarding subjects, students ofTraditional Medicine, Preventive Medicine, and Nursing have knowledge rates of3,64 times (95% CI: 1,59 - 8,35) and 5,89 times, respectively. 95% CI: 2,25 - 15,45),5,16 times (95% CI: 2,138 - 12,450) compared to general students (p<0,05).Conclusion: Knowledge about monkeypox among students of Hanoi MedicalUniversity participating in the survey is still deficient. Gender and discipline showedsignificant associations with student’s knowledge levels. The above results raise theurgency of improving knowledge about monkeypox in aluminum subjects.
