在过去的几年里，出现了一些说法，认为健康的政治决定因素没有得到应有的考虑，并且越来越多的人要求更好地了解健康研究领域的公共政策分析。一些公共卫生和健康促进研究人员呼吁在卫生政策方面提供更好的培训和更强大的研究文化。这些研究在健康促进方面的发展往往比公共卫生研究的其他领域更先进，但研究人员仍然普遍陷入幼稚，理想主义和狭隘的公共政策观点。本文认为，政治学学科已经开发出一种具体的方法来公共政策分析，可以帮助打开未开发的杠杆的影响力，为公共卫生研究和实践，可以有助于更好地理解公共政策作为健康的决定因素。它描述和批评政策分析的公共卫生模型，分析政治学的具体方法，公共政策分析，并讨论了研究的政治如何提供机会和障碍，整合政治学的独特贡献，在健康促进政策分析。
The past few years have seen the emergence of claims that the political determinants of health do not get due consideration and a growing demand for better insights into public policy analysis in the health research field. Several public health and health promotion researchers are calling for better training and a stronger research culture in health policy. The development of these studies tends to be more advanced in health promotion than in other areas of public health research, but researchers are still commonly caught in a naive, idealistic and narrow view of public policy. This article argues that the political science discipline has developed a specific approach to public policy analysis that can help to open up unexplored levers of influence for public health research and practice and that can contribute to a better understanding of public policy as a determinant of health. It describes and critiques the public health model of policy analysis, analyzes political science's specific approach to public policy analysis, and discusses how the politics of research provides opportunities and barriers to the integration of political science's distinctive contributions to policy analysis in health promotion.
