Laura A. Baehr directs the PACEE Lab (physical activity, access, community, equity, empowerment) at Drexel University. The PACEE Lab leverages community-engaged practices, mixed methodology, digital health and social networking principles to maximize the health and quality of life of adults living with disabilities and chronic health conditions through community-based physical activity. The PACEE Lab works to achieve this goal through multiple pillars including the assessment of personal factors that sustain physical activity behavior, examination of intersectional social determinants influencing health and physical activity, development and evaluation of group exercise interventions and the measurement of scale and capacity building to move evidence-based physical activity programs from lab to the community.
