ICIQ Urinary Incontinence Short Form

The ICIQ-SF is a brief, four-item self-report measure designed to assess the frequency, severity, and impact of urinary incontinence symptoms in both men and women. Developed by Avery and colleagues in 2004, it combines high psychometric utility with practical brevity, making it ideal for routine clinical screening and outcome measurement in primary care, urology, and gynecology settings.
