The Unlinked Anonymous Monitoring (UAM) Survey of people who inject drugs (PWID) aims to measure the level of HIV, hepatitis B and hepatitis C in this population. The survey also monitors the levels of risk and protective behaviours in this population.

People who have ever injected psychoactive drugs (such as heroin) are recruited to the survey through specialist agencies within England, Wales and Northern Ireland. These agencies provide a range of services to PWID, from medical treatment to outreach work and needle and syringe programmes.

The survey data is used to assess, develop and evaluate public health interventions.

The animated video provides a visual overview of the UAM Survey, explaining its aims, methods and role in supporting public health action.
