In brief

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®
