The research project of the Psychology team comprises psychologists trained by UFRJ and students from the UFRJ Undergraduate Psychology Course to study the development of children participating in the PIPA Project cohort. Based on the developmental assessment of these children, this team seeks to investigate socio-affective, cognitive, motor, adaptive and communicative development indicators to analyze associations between environmental pollutants and child development outcomes considering psychosocial variables and maternal mental health through instruments such as the Brazilian version of the Screening Test of the Battelle Inventory (Battelle Developmental Inventory, 2nd Edition), the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 and a Protocol for Investigating Psychosocial Variables in Families. Thus, we seek to collaborate both in the development and achievement of PIPA\u2019s objectives, as well as regarding scientific production in the field of Early Childhood Developmental Psychology.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-077fc29 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"077fc29\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-33808b7 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"33808b7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6450909 wd-width-100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_title\" data-id=\"6450909\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"title-wrapper wd-set-mb reset-last-child wd-title-color-default wd-title-style-underlined-2 wd-title-size-default text-left\">\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"liner-continer\">\n\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"woodmart-title-container title wd-fontsize-l\">Speech Therapy UFRJ<\/h4> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ed7a767 e-con-boxed e-flex e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"ed7a767\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-10439b8 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"10439b8\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08cff7d elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"08cff7d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/pipaufrj.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/associados_fono-ufrj-200x200-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-13729\" alt=\"Fono UFRJ\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f2d4a46 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f2d4a46\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7baf4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-wd_text_block\" data-id=\"c7baf4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wd_text_block.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wd-text-block reset-last-child text-left\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<p>The research project \u201cStudy of the effects of exposure to environmental pollutants on children\u2019s hearing health\u201d, coordinated by Professor Dr Maria Isabel K\u00f3s Pinheiro de Andrade, in collaboration with PIPA, aims to investigate the individual and combined influence of exposure to environmental pollutants during the prenatal, birth and early childhood periods on auditory system development.<\/p><p>For methodological purposes, data related to neonatal hearing screening will be collected and additional hearing tests will be performed throughout the follow-up to assess the functionality and development of the peripheral and central auditory system.
