NCT06761469
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether a multifactorial active case-finding strategy improves the detection of leprosy cases in Brazil compared to usual screening practices. The main questions it aims to answer are:
\- Does the intervention increase the number of new leprosy cases detected compared to standard care?
Participants will:
* Receive community awareness about leprosy.
* Be screened using the Leprosy Suspicion Questionnaire at priority areas identified by georeference tools.
* Undergo clinical evaluation by a trained medical team.
* If leprosy is diagnosed, affected patients will collect complementary laboratory exams
Healthcare professionals from primary care units will receive training in leprosy, while researchers will monitor changes in leprosy incidence over a 12-month period using data from Brazil's national notification system. The study will provide insights into underdiagnosis and the clinical profiles of patients who have been diagnosed.
