This survey is part of the SHAMISEN SINGS project WP1 – Stakeholders Needs on Apps/tools use for dose measurements & health/well-being related to radiation exposure (living around Nuclear Power Plants or in emergency/recovery phases after the nuclear accident)

The aim of SHAMISEN SINGS – “Nuclear Emergency Situations - Improvement of dosimetric, Medical And Health Surveillance - Stakeholder INvolvement in Generating Science (SINGS)” - is to elaborate guidelines for optimal Apps/tools/devices to enable the general public to use them to perform, if they wish, their own radiation dose measurements and log them and/or to obtain information related to concerns they may have in the case of a radiation accident or to use as a surveillance mechanism related to their state of health/well -being.

To achieve this satisfactorily, it is imperative that these Apps/tools/devices we developed in collaboration with all appropriate stakeholders (in particular the general public) in order to ensure their needs are met. In a first phase, therefore, we have elaborated questionnaires to assess the needs and opinions of stakeholders. In a second phase, the information collected will be used to develop a plan/prototype for possible Apps or devices and this will, again, be discussed with appropriate stakeholders to ensure the needs are met.

Purpose: The current survey aims to assessing Stakeholders needs for information and for tools to measure radiation, obtain answers to their concerns and participate, if they wish, in health and well-being surveillance in the case of a possible radiation accident.
