Dr. Bui Thi Thanh Dieu, Head of the Psychology Division at the University of Science and Education – The University of Danang, is participating in USAID Partnership for Higher Education Reform’s Visiting Scholar Program at Texas State University from October to November 2024.

Dr. Dieu’s research aims to assess the current status of mental health and help-seeking behaviors among students and propose solutions to promote professional help for mental health issues. Her research is expected to provide valuable insights into students’ mental health status, the effectiveness of help-seeking behaviors, and practical solutions for improving mental health literacy.

During her term from October to November 2024, Dr. Dieu will actively engage in classes, seminars, and workshops at Texas State University. Also, she will collaborate with scholars to exchange insights and refine her research at the host institute, seeking to complete a manuscript for submission to a prestigious journal indexed in WoS/Scopus. “This is an opportunity for me to meet and connect with domestic and international scientists. In particular, participating in the program gives me the opportunity to experience the world’s leading academic environment” – said Dr. Dieu.

Post-program, Dr. Dieu intends to leverage her newfound knowledge to finalize her research and enhance mental health support systems at the University of Danang. She plans to share her findings and foster professional growth among her colleagues. Her contribution is projected to establish sustainable and long-lasting academic connections between Vietnam and the United States, and advance mental health education.

The Visiting Scholar Program (VSP) under the USAID Partnership for Higher Education Reform project supports scholars from (1) Vietnam National University, (2) the University of Danang, and (3) Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City. The goal is to improve the research and teaching capacity of scholars across Vietnam while expanding strategic partnerships with higher education institutions in the United States. In the Summer and Fall of 2024, the VSP will send a total of 21 scholars from Vietnam’s three major public university systems to host institutions in the United States for academic research and exchange experiences.
