WHO will commission a number of systematic reviews that will analyze and synthesize the available evidence on the most important potential adverse health outcomes. Appropriate selection of these health outcomes is therefore key to producing a useful monograph, considering available resources and timeline of the project.

To prioritize health outcomes, WHO sought the opinion of experts on the topic of radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposures and health to complete an online survey titled "Rating Potential Adverse Health Outcomes of Exposure to Radiofrequency Fields" to help prioritize the health outcomes to be addressed systematically. Over 300 RF experts were invited, and 167 responses received. A paper is currently being finalized for submission in a peer-reviewed publication.
