“…There is some evidence of lead-related behavior problems including delinquency, antisocial behavior, and aggression (Bellinger and Dietrich 1994;Dietrich et al 2001), but this evidence is not consistent across samples or age groups. Findings do suggest, however, relatively consistent negative relations between toxic lead levels and sustained attention, working memory, and executive functioning (Bellinger and Dietrich 1994;Chiodo et al 2007;Needleman et al 1996).…”

This population-based study investigated the unique and cumulative relations between risks that are monitored by public surveillance systems and academic and behavioral outcomes for an entire cohort of third graders in a large, urban public school system. Using integrated, administrative records from child welfare, public health, housing, and education for a population of over 10,000 students, this study documented the disproportionate prevalence of early risks that included low birth weight or preterm birth, inadequate prenatal care, teen mother, high lead exposure, low maternal education, child maltreatment, and homelessness. Multiple logistic regression analyses demonstrated that low maternal education (i.e., mothers without a high school degree) had the strongest association with third grade reading and math achievement, attendance, and school suspensions, controlling for child demographics, poverty, and all other risks. Classroom behavior was significantly influenced by familial and social risks (i.e., teen mother, low maternal education, homelessness, and maltreatment), but not biological risks (i.e., preterm or low birth weight and high lead). The cumulative number of risk experiences was significantly related to both academic and behavioral outcomes and was most strongly associated with school attendance problems. Implications of the study for national child welfare and educational policy are discussed.

“…Com relação à avaliação do professor sobre as habilidades sociais, conforme esperado inicialmente, as crianças e os adolescentes sem plumbemia apresentaram melhores escores de habilidades sociais da classe responsabilidade (compromisso com as tarefas e com as pessoas no ambiente escolar e seguir instruções) e autocontrole (reagir de forma apropriada à pressão, gozação ou provocações dos colegas e negociar situações de confl ito) e menos problemas de comportamento, o que se alinha aos estudos que salientam comprometimentos para os indivíduos intoxicados (Chiodo et al, 2007;Marlowe & Bliis, 1993;Mendelsohn et al, 1998;Needleman et al, 1996;Nigg et al, 2008;RahMan, Maqbool, & Zuberi, 2002). Por outro lado, os participantes com baixa plumbemia (GBP) apresentaram melhores escores de habilidades sociais da classe cooperação do que aqueles sem plumbemia, o que contraria os outros resultados encontrados.…”

“…Visando uma compreensão mais geral do estado da arte nessa área, os autores deste estudo fi zeram um levantamento sistemático da literatura, em duas bases de dados eletrônicas internacionais (Medline, PsycInfo) e duas nacionais (CAPES e Scielo); foi realizada o cruzamento das palavras-chave lead poisoning com cada uma das seguintes palavras: antisocial; child behavior cheklist; child behavior disorder; conduct disorder; cooperation; delinquent; empathy; externalizing; hyperactivity; impulsivity; problem behavior; psycopath; social competence; social skills; violence Achenbach, 1991) foi usado em vários estudos (Burns, Baghurst, Sawyer, McMichael, & Tong, 1999;Olympio et al, 2010;Needleman, Riess, Tobin, Biesecker, & Greenhouse, 1996;Sciarillo, Alexander, & Farrell, 1992;Wasserman, Liu, Pine, & Graziano, 2001).…”

ResumoEste estudo teve como objetivo verifi car a relação entre diferentes níveis de plumbemia e o repertório de habilidades sociais, problemas de comportamento e competência acadêmica de crianças e adolescentes. Participaram 155 crianças e adolescentes, com idade média de 13,10 anos, pertencentes a três grupos: alta plumbemia (superior a 10μg/dl), baixa plumbemia (inferior a 5μg/dl) e que viviam em ambiente similar, mas livre da contaminação por chumbo (grupo de comparação). Foram utilizados os instrumentos SSRS-BR e o IHSA-Del-Prette, respondidos pelos participantes e seus professores. Identifi cou-se comprometimento no repertório comportamental, acadêmico e social, associado ao nível de plumbemia. Esses resultados evidenciam os riscos associados à exposição ao chumbo. São discutidas explicações para alguns resultados contraditórios, levantando-se hipóteses e questões para novos estudos. Palavras-chave: Habilidades sociais, problemas de comportamento, competência acadêmica, plumbemia. AbstractThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between varying levels of lead poisoning and social skills repertoire, frequency of behavior problems and academic competence in children and adolescents. Participants were 155 children and adolescents, with an average age of 13.10 years, who belonged to three groups: high blood lead levels (over 10μg/dl), low blood lead levels (less 5μg/dl) and children who lived in a similar, but lead-free environment (comparison group). We used the Social Skills Rating System -Brazilian version (SSRS-BR) and the Social Skills Inventory for Adolescents (IHSA-Del-Prette) which were answered by the children and their teachers. Impairment in children's behavioral, academic and social repertoire was associated with blood lead levels. These results show the risks associated to lead exposure. Explanations are discussed for some contradictory results, rising hypotheses and questions for further studies.
