Abstract: This information collection evaluates the impact of U.S. public diplomacy efforts in select foreign countries. Entitled Advancing Public Diplomacy Impact (APDI) Non-participants Study, this collection will include a survey and a focus group of participants who have not taken part in U.S. public diplomacy programs in select foreign countries, in order to compare their responses to those of participants who have taken part in U.S. public diplomacy programs in select foreign countries. This collection is one part of a larger evaluation looking at the impact of U.S. public diplomacy efforts and the foreign views toward the U.S. and U.S. foreign policy.
