  "abstract": "Introduction: Depression and anxiety disorders are leading contributors to global disability and economic burden. In Vietnam, current national evidence on prevalence and economic burden is limited and fragmented. This integrative review aims to synthesise evidence on the prevalence, economic burden, determinants and health-system responses to depression and anxiety in Vietnam and comparable lower-middle-income countries in Southeast Asia, to inform Vietnam’s planned national survey.\n\nMethods and analysis: The review will follow the integrative review methodology of Toronto and Remington and Whittemore and Knafl. MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), EMBASE (Ovid), PsycINFO (Ovid) and grey-literature sources will be searched from January 2010 to the final search date; foundational methodological/theoretical literature will not be date restricted. Electronic database searches will be restricted to English-language records; eligible Vietnamese-language institutional grey literature will be translated. Eligible sources will include peer-reviewed and grey literature, empirical studies of any design, systematic reviews and theoretical literature addressing the review questions in adults (≥18 years) in Vietnam or other lower-middle-income countries in Southeast Asia. Studies limited to children, severe mental illness without depression or anxiety or non-data-based publications will be excluded. Two reviewers will independently screen and appraise sources using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Data will be analysed using constant comparison.\n\nEthics and dissemination: This review uses published literature and requires no ethical approval. Findings will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publication, conferences, a plain-language summary for Vietnamese stakeholders and deposit of extraction matrices and synthesis outputs in the Open Science Framework repository.",
