When starting to work on our project, we encountered many unresolved questions. For instance, it was unclear which information is needed to interpret hormonal data correctly or whether and how data from animal and human research can be integrated. Therefore, a subgroup of the Task Force, the Delphi Steering Group conducted a Delphi study which involved extensive surveying of experts to reach a consensus. The results lay the foundation for the subsequent work and are currently prepared for publication. We will post the preprint as soon as available.

This is the Delphi Steering Group:
