Read our Obesity research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a program called Healthy Family Foundations, designed to help military families prevent obesity starting before a baby is born. The program teaches couples healthy habits around nutrition, physical activity, and sleep—and shows them how to support each other as parents. Researchers want to see if this approach reduces rapid weight gain in infants and helps mothers shed postpartum weight.
Obesity is a major health problem affecting both children and adults, and the postpartum period is a critical time when families often struggle with healthy habits. This study explores whether helping couples work together before and after their first baby arrives can prevent weight problems from starting.

If you are randomly chosen for the program group, you and your partner would attend 10 online classes together via Zoom—5 classes before your baby is born and 5 classes after (2 to 8 months postpartum). Each class lasts 2 hours and includes a small group of 5–10 couples led by trained facilitators. If you are in the control group, you will receive standard care and educational resources offered at your military base health center.
