Summary

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) * Automated Self-Administered 24-Hour (ASA24®) Dietary Assessment Tool * 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®

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study, called the Florida ASCENT Study, is looking at how cancer patients use navigation services and how those services affect their care experience. Cancer navigation programs help patients understand their diagnosis, coordinate appointments, and connect with support resources. The study aims to measure whether patients who use these services have better outcomes and feel more supported. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have been diagnosed with colorectal, prostate, lung, breast, gynecologic, blood, or skin cancer (including melanoma) within the past 12 months - You can read and speak English - You are able to provide informed consent **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are under 18 - You belong to a vulnerable population (such as pregnant women or young children as patients) - You cannot provide informed consent - You do not speak English Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
