Survey Assessment of Vietnamese Youth (SAVY)

The Survey Assessment of Vietnamese Youth (SAVY) is the largest and most comprehensive survey of youth ever undertaken in Viet Nam. A collaboration of the Ministry of Health, General Statistics Office, the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the survey involved 7,584 youth aged 14 to 25 years from 42 provinces across the country, from the smallest rural hamlet to the largest cities. Using a household sample, youth were invited to a central location to complete both a face-to-face interview and a self-administered anonymous survey which contained sensitive questions young people could answer in private. What results is the most extensive understanding of the social life, attitudes and aspirations of young Vietnamese people today.
