Sampel diambil berdasarkan fixed disease sampling. Metode analisis, bivariat dan multivariat. Hasil analisis menunjukkan faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap kejadian kusta yaitu kondisi ekonomi keluarga rendah (p=0,001 dan OR=6,356; 95%CI=2,212-18,267) dan kebersihan perorangan buruk (p=0,000 dan OR=15,746; 95%CI=4,159-59,612). Simpulan penelitian, kondisi ekonomi keluarga rendah dan kebersihan perorangan buruk mempengaruhi kejadian kusta.
