 PACE Canada is a comprehensive guide to counseling for healthy active
living designed to assist physicians in effectively increasing their
patients' physical activity levels and improving their eating habits.
Research has demonstrated that the PACE intervention is effective in helping
patients move towards more healthy active living, and that the program is
acceptable to health care providers, office staff and patients. As well, the
program does not require staff to have special medical training and can be
used effectively by a wide range of primary care providers.
