Stratified random sampling enrolled 264 leprosy contacts. Structured interviews assessed knowledge, attitudes, perceived effectiveness of leprosy treatment, family support, healthcare worker support, accessibility to healthcare services and stigma. Data were analyzed using univariate, bivariate and multivariate logistic regression. Results are presented as adjusted odds ratios (aORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 264 participants (mean age 46.5\u2009years; 63.3% female), most were of productive age (18\u201359\u2009years, 79.2%) and had completed at least junior high school. Homemakers formed the largest occupational group (42.1%). Only 30.7% of contacts reported appropriate health\u2010seeking behaviour. Multivariate analysis identified three key predictors of health\u2010seeking behaviour: perceptions of leprosy treatment, accessibility to healthcare services and stigma.
