In intermediate variables framework developed by Davis and Blake which among the following is not "Intercourse variable" ?
Answer: D
Foetal mortality from involuntary causes is not an intercourse variable.
Davis and Blake grouped eleven intermediate variables into three sets. The intercourse variables concern the formation and breaking of sexual unions and the frequency of intercourse. The conception variables concern fecundity and contraception. The gestation variables concern whether a conceived pregnancy goes to birth, and they include foetal mortality from voluntary and from involuntary causes.
The age of entry into sexual union, permanent celibacy, and the breaking of unions by divorce, separation or desertion all belong to the intercourse set. So foetal mortality is the one that falls in the gestation set.
