*2.6. Statistical Analyses*

Frequencies and percentages were computed for sociodemographic factors. Responses were compared between the Mexican and Puerto Rican groups using the chi-square test of independence. Data were first analyzed using the overall sample of all weight groups. Given our interest in designing an intervention for individuals with overweight or obesity, a second analysis compared the groups restricting the analyses to those who were overweight and obese (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2). SPSS was used for all analyses and statistical significance was indicated if *p* < 0.05.
