About this study

In plain language

The Florida ASCENT Study tests MyCarePulse and an ASCENT patient navigator, a person who helps patients get care, against standard care. It looks at whether this support helps people with cancer get enough food, eat better, and feel more able to make healthy food choices. Patients with cancer and certain clinic staff can take part.

The goal of this clinical trial is to adapt, implement, and evaluate MyCarePulse and ASCENT patient navigator to overcome barriers to care among patients with cancer. The main hypotheses it aims to test are: * At the patient level, the intervention will result in higher levels of food security, self- efficacy for dietary behaviors, and higher diet quality than standard care. * At the provider level, the intervention will be feasible, acceptable, appropriate, and able to enhance individualized care for patient wellness. Researchers will compare cancer patients receiving the MyCarePulse and ASCENT patient navigator intervention to those receiving standard care, to see if the intervention improves food security, self-efficacy, and diet quality. Phase 1 Patient Participants will: * Complete the ASCENT Questionnaire, which is comprised of the following: * U.S. Food Security Survey Module (U.S. FSSM) * Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS-29) * General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) * Complete the Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool a total of 4 times. * Be assessed using the Veggie Meter instrument * Participate in two semi-structured interviews Provider Participants will: •Participate in one semi-structured interview Phase 2 Patient Participants will: * Participate in ASCENT patient navigator screenings and consultations * Complete the ASCENT Questionnaire, which comprises the U.S. FSSM, PROMIS-29, and ASA24®

Eligibility

Who can join

  • Patients: Age 18 or older. The listing also excludes people age 18 or younger, so the rule for age 18 needs to be checked.
  • Patients: Have cancer confirmed by lab testing of cells or tissue.
  • Patients: Report being able to read and speak English. The exclusion list mentions English or Spanish, so the language rule needs to be checked.
  • Patients: Can give informed consent, meaning they understand the study and agree to join.
  • Clinic staff: Age 18 or older. The listing also excludes people age 18 or younger, so the rule for age 18 needs to be checked.

Who can't join

  • Patients and clinic staff: Age 18 or younger, though this conflicts with the rule allowing age 18.
  • Patients: Do not have cancer confirmed by lab testing of cells or tissue.
  • Patients: Are getting active cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy, radiation, or a stem cell transplant. Stable maintenance treatment, used to keep cancer under control, is allowed.
