The following presenters have confirmed their participation in the Prevention in Progress Family Violence Prevention Summit:

Amy Bonomi, PhD, MPH is an Associate Professor of Human Development at The Ohio State University. Her research focuses on the health consequences and health care costs associated with intimate partner violence and child abuse, predictors and outcomes of victim recantation (i.e., calling back stories) in court-involved intimate partner violence cases, and violence prevention interventions.

Dr. Bonomi has participated in 12 federally-funded projects, including a study funded by the Agency for Health Research and Quality to characterize the association between intimate partner violence and women and children's use of health care and the costs of such health care. She is co-principal investigator of two grants from the Group Health Foundation to continue analysis of the health care costs of violence and to develop a health care-based intervention for abused women. Dr. Bonomi is principal investigator of a grant from Ohio State University's Criminal Justice Research Center to identify processes leading abuse victims to call back (i.e., recant) their stories in court and the consequences of doing so. Dr. Bonomi has two federal grants under review to further explore victim recantation in court and to identify intervention points to reduce the occurrence of recantation.
