UW Study Seeks to Understand Socioeconomic Effects of Social Distancing, Isolation
For many people, social distancing, self-isolation and sometimes the need to quarantine have become common practice during the COVID-19 pandemic. While some of the loneliness brought on by this “new normal” can be eased by reading, cooking, online entertainment and talking with friends through social media, an online survey by the University of Wyoming Division of Social Work is being used to look more deeply into the effects of social distancing and isolation.
Neely Mahapatra, an associate professor, and Sukyung Yoon, an assistant professor, both in the UW Division of Social Work in the College of Health Sciences, have partnered with scholars from Canada, South Korea and Singapore to conduct a multi-country study aimed at assessing the impact of the pandemic on the socioeconomic health and well-being of individuals and families.
This web-based survey was developed to recruit participants for the study, focusing on how families and individuals are functioning during isolation. Survey questions focus on the dynamics of personal or family relationships, and experiences of abuse while in isolation or quarantine.

UW Division of Social Work Brings Summer Camp Experience Right to Your Front Door
With certain outdoor recreation activities tentatively set to resume this summer, there still remains a significant amount of uncertainty as to what will be available or safe to do, especially for young children.
The University of Wyoming’s Division of Social Work is partnering with the UW Division of Kinesiology and Health, the UW Office of Engagement and Outreach, and the Rocky Mountain Power Foundation to provide youngsters the experience of going to a summer camp, while having that experience delivered right to their front door.
Kym Codallos, an associate lecturer with the Division of Social Work, along with students from the divisions of Social Work and Kinesiology and Health, collaborated to create summer camp kits that can be mailed directly to youngsters upon request.
Each camp kit includes age-appropriate content for the recipient and lays out activities specific to developmental needs. Contents include a sports backpack, camp T-shirt, water bottle, sports and fitness gear, and an age/grade-level activity book.
Camp activities begin the first week of June and run through the end of July.
The cost of receiving a summer camp kit is $30. To request a kit, or for more camp information, call Codallos at (307) 766-5490 or email kcodallo@uwyo.edu.
