While community coalitions have been shown to prevent ED visits for asthma, there is little guidance on where to best implement these efforts. Geographical information systems (GIS) technology can help in the selection and coordination of potential coalition partners. This report proposes a model to be used by clinicians and child health equity advocates to strategize high-impact community health interventions. The aims were to identify the clusters of ED utilization for pediatric asthma, evaluate sociodemographic features of the population within the clusters, and identify potential primary care and school community partners. <b>Methods:</b> This model uses ED visJournal of primary care & community health2150132720940513https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC7357009biostudies-literatureAligning Partners in Pediatric Health: Using Geographical Information Systems to Plan Community Coalitions.PMC7357009Nguyen MBfalseAligning Partners in Pediatric Health: Using Geographical Information Systems to Plan Community Coalitions.<b>Introduction:</b> Compared with adults, children have higher emergency department (ED) utilization for asthma exacerbation.
