What appears to be new about the Army of Women is that it will provide a data base of women of all ages and backgrounds and help researchers find the specific group they need for the study. A committee will screen researchers and their studies for ethical and privacy concerns. Then they will email participants about the study and the specific requirements. If a researcher needs healthy premenopausal women whose mothers had breast cancer, they have access to a huge number of women who might fit the study.
After reading the fine print, I signed up to join the Army of Women, and I hope you will check it out and think about participating too.
