Andrew I am happy to pass one onto you once I have written one myself, it is just the persistent asking from you that I think is getting people offside. I am in the process of writing 3 SACs for all 3 study designs from SCRATCH!! Shock Horror! That's what a new study design brings.
I don't think people have SACs to share around yet either, most likely people are drafting them and don't want them to get out before they hand them out themselves...
Good luck Andrew.
Regards
David

I havent done unit 1/2 SACs in a few years and i really dont understand the reluctance of people to simply pass one on.
I dont intend to copy one but simply edit it.
IT really is quite time consuming writing one from scratch and having worked in the IT industry we are always told never write things from scratch.
