Model covariates were organized into five domains: · Ascribed factors (immutable individual-level determinants); · Proximal factors (modifiable individual-level health behaviors); · Immediate factors (household-level mediators between proximal and intermediate factors); · Intermediate factors (community-level factors); and · Distal factors (system-level factors).

The chapter also tabulates the conceptual framework of neighborhood based crime prevention including the associated problems, strategies, intervening factors, intermediate factors, and long-term outcomes.
However, as one might expect, the strength of the direct association is much attenuated by the addition of relevant intermediate factors (i.e. Cognitive Skills and Educational Attainment) that are more proximal in time to entry into the labor market.
Our analytical framework places models of desires and capacities as intermediate factors between models of structure and agency, in order to enable an actor-oriented analysis that goes beyond the individual migrant's experience.
Although complex interventions are usually evaluated by their effects on outcomes, such as pain or disability, most do not directly target these outcomes; instead, they target intermediate factors that are presumed to be associated with the outcomes.
Even if recognition is indirect, increased evolution of intermediate factors might drive compensatory evolution of Xist.
We investigated whether intelligence or neuroticism were intermediate factors in this genetic pathway, but found no evidence for this hypothesis.
Our data do not rule out the possibility of NGF or BDNF acting on gene expression in BMSC through one, or several, intermediate factors.
In this analysis we assume that if neuroticism and intelligence are intermediate factors in the pathway, (genetic) correlations will disappear when adjusting for these factors.
