Abstract:
After-action reviews (AARs) are a qualitative evaluation methodology conducted after a public health event recommended by the World Health Organization.

Our findings suggested the toolkit is suitable to evaluate responses to infectious disease outbreaks but needs to be adapted for use in particular settings.
