This randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in 10 Italian health and maternal-child Centres to evaluate the effects of a Dialogic Book-Sharing (DBS) intervention on parental symptoms of anxiety and depression. Sixty-eight parents of 14–20-month-old infants were recruited.ANOVAanalysis revealed a greater reduction in anxiety and depression symptoms in the intervention group (N = 36) compared to controls (N = 32). DBS is a simple, cost-effective programme that benefits parental mood, making it a valuable intervention for perinatal populations.
