# Indirect Activities

An **Indirect Activity** in PEARS tracks non-direct-contact education efforts, such as newsletters, social media posts, websites, and other media distributed to reach an audience. Each record captures the activity details and the channels used to distribute it, along with estimated reach.

## Getting Started

To access Indirect Activities, hover over the **Engage** menu in the top navigation bar and click **Indirect Activities**.
