Abstract

Highlights: Select SARS reports were qualitatively analyzed for usage of "capacity"/"capacities". Public health capacity can be sub-divided into 17 individual capacity components. These components can be organized into five tiers to build a capacity framework. This framework can be used to guide capacity assessment and building efforts.
