Purpose
CDC's Asthma Cost Calculator analyzes data to reveal how asthma impacts healthcare costs, comparing expenses for patients with asthma based on factors like age, sex, race/ethnicity, and asthma control status. Users can input criteria to view per-patient costs, state totals, and national estimates, empowering healthcare leaders to prioritize resources and enhance asthma management. This tool supports informed decision-making to improve care and reduce the economic burden of asthma on individuals and healthcare systems.

Please note that this dashboard is part of an ongoing development and serves as a prototype. The estimates and future projections displayed are based on preliminary models and limited data sources, which are subject to further refinement and validation.
