The identification of asthma patients most at risk of experiencing an emergency department event is an important step toward lessening public health burdens in the United States. In this report, the CDC BRFSS Asthma Call Back Survey Data from 2006 to 2009 is explored for potential factors for a predictive model. A metric for classifying the control level of asthma patients is constructed and applied. The data is then used to construct a predictive model for ED events with the rpart algorithm. / text
