“…Among identified documents, the results from four national surveys were reported within 10 different articles ( Do et al, 2015 ; Hoy et al, 2013 ; Nguyen and Hoang, 2018 ; Trinh et al, 2008 ; Van Bui et al, 2016 ; Vietnam Ministry of Health, 2012 , 2016 ; Vietnam Ministry of Health and Health Partnership Group, 2015 ; World Health Organization, 2014 , 2018b ) and four studies used regional sampling methods ( Huu Bich et al, 2009 ; Ly et al, 2013 ; Pham et al, 2009 ; Trinh et al, 2010 ; Van Minh et al, 2008 ). Also, we found two studies with data describing youth alcohol use (aged 10–19, sample size = 1408) ( Hanoi Medical University, 2013 ; Thoa et al, 2013 ). The analyzed documents have provided descriptive statistics on the percentage of current drinkers within the population, average amount of alcohol consumption, and a percentage which described the number of current drinkers engaged with hazardous or harmful binge drinking behaviors.…”
