    abstract = "Clustering patterns, among health-care personnel, of excessive concerns
pertaining to perceived electromagnetic field-related health impacts, as
contrasted to those from other environmental factors, were explored.
Knowledge/excessive concerns of 722 health-care personnel were assessed
using a 22-item structured questionnaire along with a double-phase
qualitative study comprising semistructured interviews and focus groups.
Over 75 percent of the participants had high perceived knowledge,
whereas accuracy was limited to <20 percent and correctness to 8
percent. An excessive concern group was clearly distinguished from a
relaxed attitude one. Clustering of excessive concerns may derive from
personal beliefs, suggesting a risk governance issue for health
education policies."
