For the past fifteen years Dr. Pepper has studied the US Department of Energy workforce. He completed a five-year study of the health impacts of the large-scale downsizing of DOE employees in the early 1990s. For the past twelve years he has lead a medical screening and surveillance study of former employees of the DOE's Nevada Test Site, Lawrence Livermore and Berkeley Labs and the Sandia National Laboratory in California who were exposed to numerous hazards during the weapons testing era. Along with investigators at other DOE facilities, Dr. Pepper has helped create for DOE the first comprehensive federal employee compensation program. Dr. Pepper's interest in the relationship between the social organization of work, worker autonomy, and health status continues to shape his ongoing research and professional interests.
