© The Author(s) 2024.Introduction: The aim of this study was to examine the association of sex/gender and other factors with the perceived helpfulness of the diagnostic process and post-diagnostic services by persons with dementia and care partners. Methods: We conducted secondary cross-sectional analysis of surveys from the ‘Cognisance’ project. Sex/gender and other factors (e.g., demographic variables, help seeking behaviours, healthcare professional consulted) of persons with dementia and care partners from four countries were considered. Main outcomes were perceived helpfulness of diagnostic process and post-diagnostic services. We conducted descriptive and multivariate analyses. Results: Compared to men, more women with dementia perceived post-diagnostic services as helpful though not statistically significant. Sex/gender was not associated with perceived helpfulness of diagnostic process and post-diagnostic services among care partners. Satisfaction with and awareness of services were associated with perceived helpfulness among care partners. Discussion: These findings underscore the necessity for sex/gender-based research to enhance dementia care and for tailored interventions.
