This research is a quasi-experimental study with a one-group pretest and post-test design. This study was carried out in Kolo Subdistrict, Bima City during March – October 2021. This research was conducted on 20 leprosy care cadres who had to receive the Leprosy Care Cadre Tracking (Kader Tangguh Peduli Lepra: KETAPEL) model to find new cases of leprosy. In this model, cadres received counselling and training in the area of a social learning theory to approach with the community for discovering new cases of leprosy in Kolo Subdistrict, Bima City. The number of new cases discovered by cadres was recorded before and after implementation of the KETAPEL model. Data analysis was carried out using paired t-test with a p-value ≤ 0.05. Results showed that there was a significant difference in the detection of new leprosy cases in Kolo Subdistrict, Bima City, before and after the application of the KETAPEL model (p=0.000). New case detection increased 100% from 19 to 38 cases after the implementation of the KETAPEL model. It is concluded that KETAPEL model developed for the identification of new cases using the social learning theory approach improves the identification of leprosy cases. This model can be applied either regionally or in a wider area. Such model/ approach needs to be studied in other social and cultural settings.</p>
