One of the objectives of the RadoNorm project is to improve methodological qualities of the research related to investigations of societal aspects of radon and NORM exposure situations. This document, the methodological state-of-the art, provides an overview of the methods that have been applied so far for investigating societal aspects of radon and NORM exposure situations as reported in scientific articles. This is the first attempt to perform a systematic review of the methodological approaches that have been used in social and human studies that aimed at understanding the socio-psychological situation of affected populations and stakeholders.
