SUMMARY:

This project aims to investigate the effects of exposure to Zika virus (ZIKV) on the
neurodevelopment of children who do not have microcephaly, but whose mothers were
infected with ZIKV during pregnancy. Methods: The study will have a quantitative,
cross-sectional design, with group comparison of groups. Participants will be divided
into two groups by age and sex: 34 children with typical development for the control
group and 34 children without microcephaly, whose mothers were infected with ZIKV
during pregnancy for the experimental group, for a total of 68 children aged 3 to 6 years
old, of both sexes. Instruments: Psychometric measurement instruments and
psychological scales will be applied to measure the study variables. Six instruments will
be used to assess children's intelligence, reasoning, language, and cognitive and
behavioral development in children. The purpose of this project is to determine if
children exposed to ZIKV during pregnancy, without a diagnosis of microcephaly,
exhibit indicators of neurodevelopmental delay compared to children without ZIKV
exposure.
