About

Phuong’s background is in behavioural science and paediatric clinical psychology. Her research aims to provide scientific evidence and recommendations for behavioural changes in the contexts of mental health problems, cognitive and learning issues in Vietnam. Her past research has focused on creativity training techniques, the effects of physical activity and sedentary behaviour on internalizing symptoms, suicide, mindfulness-based interventions, and cognitive-behavioural interventions for youth and young adults. Phuong is also very open for collaboration in cross-disciplinary research (some of her past and ongoing projects include single-use plastics and behavioural economic studies), to offer her psychological insights and promote behaviour change.
