Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Abiding by the survivorship guidelines as measured by making an appointment within 6 months of enrollment OR completing a guideline-based assessment.
Abiding by the survivorship guidelines is defined as either of: Making an appointment with primary health care provider within 6 months of enrollment, OR completing a guideline-based assessment or management strategy for reducing side effects related to prostate cancer treatment.
6 months
Assess trial participants', caregivers'/family members', and staff satisfaction and experiences with the ASCENT technology and trial.
Focus group comments and question responses detailing trial participants', caregivers'/family members', and staff's satisfaction and experiences with ASCENT.
6 months

Study Arms (2)
Intervention Arm: SoC (standard of care) and ASCENT
EXPERIMENTALHealth care per institutional standard plus ASCENT via the TrueNTH website.
Control Arm: SoC and TrueNRH
NO INTERVENTIONHealth care per institutional standard, plus access to the public information on the TrueNTH website; such as the symptom tracker, exercise \& diet, and lived experiences modules.
Interventions
ASCENT includes the following components: * Survivorship care plan created through the ASCENT tool * Online tool which assesses health care needs and facilitates receipt of care * A national-level navigator who helps the participant to access support services * Periodic reminders for the participant to pursue recommended survivorship care
