I'm a clinical research coordinator but I've done a lot of outreach work in my position. My department go to various health related venues, food banks, churches, etc. to spread awareness about opioid misuse and stigma. Every week or so I would go to these events to provide education. My job was teaching people how to use naloxone, I would wait as my coworker presented on stigma surrounding OUD and/or other OUD related topics and then I would come in and do a shorter explanation on how to identify a overdose, how and when to administer naloxone and what to say to the 911 operator when you called them. Sometimes we would have booths and I would talk to people one on one as they walked by and sometimes I would speak to a crowd. Sometimes we would give surveys out and that data is being analyzed for a future publication.

Do these count as research hours because they were preformed during my research position? Or are they clinical hours? I was paid so they certainly were not volunteer.
