Despite the increasing incidence rate, knowledge on the economic assessment of preventing leptospirosis is still limited. This paper introduces the willingness\u2010to\u2010contribute (WTC) method for estimating the economic benefit of preventing leptospirosis. A cross\u2010sectional study using the WTC method was applied to measure how much time respondents in Kelantan were willing to contribute toward preventing leptospirosis. Study respondents were wet market traders aged 18\u00a0years old and above who were fluent in the Malay language. The average WTC value was multiplied by the population of Kelantan to derive the monetary value of preventing leptospirosis. Two hundred and fifty respondents participated in the study. The mean time contribution was 6.68\u00a0hours (SD9.01) per month. The average WTC corresponded to a monthly cost savings of US$4.94 per person. Approximately between US$106.7\u00a0million to US$315\u00a0million per annum can be saved through the prevention of leptospirosis in Kelantan. Preventing leptospirosis is beneficial to Kelantan and would bring major economic savings. The findings are intended to help policy makers in the planning and management of leptospirosis policies and interventions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/hpm.2696","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,25]],"date-time":"2018-10-25T07:18:51Z","timestamp":1540451931000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Economic benefit of leptospirosis prevention in Kelantan, Malaysia: Willingness\u2010to\u2010contribute approach"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"34","author":[{"given":"Sarah","family":"Saizan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, School of Medical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0974-7074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Surianti","family":"Sukeri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, School of Medical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wan Mohd","family":"Zahiruddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, School of Medical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohd Nazri","family":"Shafei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, School of Medical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Awang Hamat","family":"Rukman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine Universiti Putra Malaysia Serdang Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Osman","family":"Malina","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine Universiti Putra Malaysia Serdang Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tengku Zetty Maztura Tengku","family":"Jamaluddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Faculty of Medicine Universiti Putra Malaysia Serdang Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daud","family":"Aziah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Community Medicine, School of Medical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian Malaysia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"Communicable Disease Centre.Leptospirosis.
