Biography

Dr. Regan earned his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Texas A&M University after completing his psychology residency at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. He subsequently completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Drug Dependence and Epidemiology Training program at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health.

His research program is centered around understanding Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and other addictive behaviors from a biopsychosocial lens. For example, his work examines disparities in SUD disease progression among typically marginalized groups, such as those from racial/ethnic and/or sexual minority backgrounds. Dr. Regan is also interested in examining the role of technology within addictive behaviors. This includes technology-based applications of mental and behavioral health treatment, as well as conceptualizing potentially problematic forms of technology use such as smartphone and social media overuse.

Dr. Regan has accrued experience from a range of clinical settings including several specialty medical inpatient and outpatient units, a county jail, a residential SUD rehabilitation facility, a health care collaborative serving U.S. refugees, and private practice. His clinical interests include evidence-based assessment and treatment of substance use, mood, and trauma disorders, especially for diverse populations. His training has been funded through the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the Health Resources and Services Administration.
