Name change EQ-HWB-S to EQ-HWB-9

In April 2025, both the Executive Committee and the Board approved the name change requested by the EQ-HWB Working Group, changing the name of the short version of EQ-HWB (EQ-HWB-S) to EQ-HWB-9. The name of the long form version remains EQ-HWB. All members are kindly asked to use the name EQ-HWB-9 from now on when referring to the short version of EQ-HWB in their publications. Note that the EQ-HWB-9 is still an experimental instrument. In all publications using pre-final approved EQ-HWB-9 versions to date, please acknowledge its experimental status. For clarity, please refer to it as the ‘experimental EQ-HWB-9 (2022) version’ or the ‘experimental modified EQ-HWB-9 (2022) version’, depending on which one was used in the study.
