The author, who holds a master’s degree in public policy from the University of Michigan, formed a panel of more than 300 survivors, family members, and healthcare professionals. These brain injury veterans contribute their advice and experiences to Prowe's work. The author's research also is informed by his role as caregiver to his wife, Jessica, who has a severe brain injury. Prowe has shared the fruits of his research with tens of thousands of individuals seeking information about brain injury through reports on his Web site, articles in numerous brain injury publications, presentations at regional and national conferences, and in his first book, Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury: A Family Guidebook, From the Emergency Room to Selecting a Rehabilitation Facility.

Prowe's book Successfully Surviving a Brain Injury is being given to families at Level 1 trauma centers throughout the country.
