Summary

PACE+ was developed to address the increased number of adolescents in our country that are at risk for cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other diseases due to inactivity, obesity, and malnourishment. PACE+ will evaluate the efficacy of an integrated clinical and home-based intervention to improve physical activity and nutrition behaviors in adolescents ages 11-15 over a period of 2 years.

This study is unique in that it will be one of the first to evaluate a combined physical activity and nutrition intervention for youth that revolves around the primary health care setting. The PACE+ intervention is particularly innovative in that three components - computer, provider counseling, and an extended home-based intervention - are unified through a common theoretical framework.
