Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

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.
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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

General health status
General health status will be measured using the EuroQol five dimensions questionnaire (EQ-5D).
Existence and severity of depression
Existence and severity of depression will be evaluated using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9).
Prostate-cancer specific quality of life.
Prostate-cancer specific quality of life will be determined using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite - Short Form (EPIC-26).
Overall health-related-quality of life including, but not limited to, mental and physical functioning as measured by the Short Form Health Survey
Overall health-related-quality of life will be measured using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-12).
