The Survey and Assessment of Vietnamese Youth (SAVY) is the first national survey on adolescents and youth to evaluate health status and other important development issues of the group of married and unmarried young people aged 14-25 from ethnic, rural, and urban areas of 42 provinces across Vietnam. The study provides detailed analysis and disaggregation of data for comparison purposes of specific groups including young men and women, rural and urban youth, married and unmarried young people, and young people of differing education levels. The survey was designed to assess education, employment, health and reproductive behavior and other development issues of adolescent and young people including HIV/AIDS, substance use, injuries, and violence. SAVY also explored young people's perceptions and attitudes as well as their future expectations.
