Take part in our survey to understand psychological changes in children and adolescents.

We need help from parents and their children to better understand the causes of mental disorders in childhood and adolescence.

We will do this through a battery of cognitive tests, medical evaluation and blood collection. If we suspect that your child has a psychological issue, he/she will be monitored by our team.

ABOUT

The Laboratory of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (LAPIA) is a research group coordinated by Professor Laiana Quagliato, which is located at the Institute of Psychiatry at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro.

LAPIA's mission is to drive fundamental discoveries in childhood and adolescent mental health and to guide the next generation of scientific leaders in an inspiring and collaborative training environment. We work at the interface between neuroscience and clinical practice, seeking to understand how mental disorders are related to changes in brain development.

We believe that diversity of perspective, background and ability are keys to creativity and innovation in science. As such, we welcome students and scientists from different backgrounds who can contribute to research and thrive in our laboratory's team-oriented culture that values excellence, rigor, and respect.
