Keeley J. Pratt studies how family relationships and dynamics affect obesity and weight management across the lifespan, from pediatric weight programs to adult bariatric surgery. Her work often examines how parents, partners, and children influence and are influenced by weight-related behaviors, treatment participation, and outcomes, with attention to disparities such as race, family structure, and food insecurity. This research is relevant to students interested in family systems approaches to chronic disease management and health equity in obesity care.
