'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service'. The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of projects. First is the commissioned route.

“…As required by the defection hypothesis, PPD does correlate with low levels of social support (Areias et al 1996;Ghubash and Abou-Saleh 1997;Thorpe et al 1992;Yoshida et al 1997) and low infant viability (Ghubash and Abou-Saleh 1997;Yoshida et al 1997). Unfortunately, studies in small, kin-based societies that are most likely to resemble ancestral social environments are essentially nonexistent.…”

Evolutionary approaches to parental care suggest that parents will not automatically invest in all offspring, and they should reduce or eliminate investment in their children if the costs outweigh the benefits. Lack of paternal or social support will increase the costs born by mothers, whereas infant health problems will reduce the evolutionary benefits to be gained. Numerous studies support the correlation between postpartum depression (PPD) and lack of social support or indicators of possible infant health and development problems. PPD may be an adaptation that informs mothers that they are suffering or have suffered a fitness cost, which motivates them to reduce or eliminate investment in offspring under certain circumstances, and that may help them negotiate greater levels of investment from others. PPD also appears to be a good model for depression in general.

“…The father's emotional state may also influence the risk for maternal postpartum mood changes. Depression 53 and high levels of expressed emotion in a woman's partner 54 have been associated with greater likelihood of maternal depression in the 6 to 12 months after delivery. Finally, cultural factors may contribute to postpartum mood disturbances.…”
