In the wake of the publicity regarding domestic violence following Chris Brown's assault of his girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna, Professor Bonomi has been interviewed by local and national media sources, including CNN Health. Her article on "Health Care Utilization and Costs Associated with Physical and Nonphysical Only Intimate Partner Violence," written with Melissa L. Anderson, Frederick P. Rivara, and Robert S.
