He served as the Scientific Coordinator/Director for four National Advisory Mental Health Council reports to Congress on mental health insurance parity, and was a section editor of the Surgeon’s General’s Report on Mental Health. In the international arena, Dr. Regier served as the mental health coordinator for the Health Committee of the U.S./Russian Commission on Science and Technology and remains as a consultant to the World Health Organization’s mental health initiatives.
Dr. Regier has been active as a reviewer and editorial/scientific advisory board member of numerous professional journals. He is currently the American Editor for the journal, Social Psychiatry and Psychiatric Epidemiology. He has also published over 150 articles, book chapters, and monographs.
