The Florida Partnership for Adding Social Context to Address Cancer Survivorship Outcomes (Florida ASCENT)
University of Florida
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®
Description
This study aims to establish a clinical trial of 200 cancer patients at the UF Health and University of Miami Health Systems (100 in Phase 1 and 100 in Phase 2). UF Health will serve as the Coordinating Center for the study. Building on My Wellness Check, an electronic health records (EHR)-based referral system developed at the University of Miami for symptom and practical needs screening in cancer patients. This study will integrate the platform with a network of patient navigators who can provide individualized support and connect survivors with relevant community resources to promote healt…
