Lawless et al provide a valuable narrative of using program logic to develop an evaluation of Health in All Policies (HiAP) in South Australia. In this commentary I argue that the paper and analysis is an extremely useful example of navigating the supposed black box of policy-making. However the original makes the reader work too hard and is distracting from the main narrative of explaining the logic behind the HiAP approach in South Australia. My response covers avoiding epistemological traps and weighing up the pragmatics of collaborative policy research with more complex institutional policy issues like power.
罗利等人提供了一个有价值的叙述，即利用规划逻辑来评估南澳大利亚的“全民健康政策”。在这篇评论中，我认为该论文及其分析是一个非常有用的范例，可以帮助人们了解政策制定的所谓“黑箱”。然而，原文让读者读起来非常吃力，并且分散了主要叙述，即解释南澳大利亚全民健康政策方法背后的逻辑。我的回应涵盖了避免认识论陷阱，以及权衡合作政策研究的实际情况与更复杂的体制政策问题，如权力。
