*3.3. Structure of Intervention*

In terms of the frequency and length of the intervention, results revealed that 83.74% said they would be willing to attend an intervention that met twice per week, and 74.38% said they would be willing to attend an intervention that met for one and a half to two hours on the first day and one and a half to two hours on the second day. There were no significant differences between Mexican and Puerto Rican men in terms of these responses. Results were similar in terms of level of responses and differences between ethnic groups when analyses were restricted to overweight and obese participants only (Table 1).

As seen in Table 2, participants reported they would be "moderately" "very" or "extremely interested" to attend an intervention if it were in the following Chicago neighborhoods: Humboldt Park (75.37%), the University of Illinois at Chicago area (72.41%), Pilsen (48.28%), and Little Village (38.92%). More Puerto Ricans than Mexicans preferred the location to be in Humboldt Park (*p* < 0.0001); more Mexicans than Puerto Ricans preferred the University of Illinois at Chicago (*p* = 0.009), Pilsen (*p* < 0.0001) or Little Village (*p* = 0.003). These preferences were similar when the sample was restricted to overweight and obese participants only (Table 2).
