There is certainly more research needed in this area. From glancing
at the website, they look like a group that disseminates info,
not necessarily one that is qualified to conduct the research for
which they are seeking subjects.
Like any other research, I'd want to know who is sponsoring it,
what do they hope to learn, how will they get info., did the
research project go through some sort of ethical review board?
The notice indicates that the research is funded by foundations,
it also does not seem to be institutionally affiliated,
except for the EWG itself. That is a red flag for me. To whom
are they accountable?

Just some thoughts. Does anyone know anything about this group?
