Hepworth's methodological research centers on estimating proportions using group testing, also known as pooled testing, with emphasis on both point estimation and interval estimation. He has engaged in collaborative research spanning animal reproduction, lung diseases, plant pathology, cardiac electrophysiology, dentistry, nursing, water use, compost science, ecology, entomology, veterinary science, and neurology. Hepworth has authored 140 refereed publications and maintains an h-index of 31. Notable contributions include work on debiased estimation of proportions in group testing, published in the Journal of the Royal Statistical Society: Series C in 2009, and bias correction in pooled testing, featured in the International Journal of Biostatistics in 2017. His research has gained international recognition, with methodologies adopted by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and integrated into their software for practical application.
