We will conduct a prospective study in the Basel area (BS/BL) and Central Switzerland with one year of follow-up. Thereby a main aim is to differentiate between biophysical and psychological pathways.

The former relates to potential effects related to radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) emitted by wireless communication devices; and the latter refers to aspects not related to RF-EMF such as use in the bed after lights out, addictive usage pattern or extensive social network use.
