COSMOS-France: a survey on mobile phone use and health

 The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is launching the French component of the international Cohort Study of Mobile Phone Use and Health (COSMOS) project. France is joining a study that is already under way in Denmark, Finland, The Netherlands, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.

The main objective of COSMOS is to study the long-term potential risks to health (cancer, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders,headaches,tinnitus, sleep disorders, etc.) associated with the use of mobile phones and other wireless technologies, while taking into account the sociodemographic and health haracteristics of users.

For this study, in addition to responding to a detailed questionnaire,participants may also authorize the collection of data on individual mobile phone use from their mobile phone operator. This accurate information is essential to improve the scientific knowledge on this subject.
