International Index of Erectile Function

The IIEF is a 15-item, multidimensional self-report instrument developed by Rosen and colleagues in 1997 to assess erectile function and sexual satisfaction in men. It remains the most widely used psychometric tool for evaluating erectile dysfunction in clinical and research settings, with validation across 29 countries and translations into 40+ languages.
