Introduction: Leishmaniasis is endemic in 88 countries and 350 million people in world are at risk. This study was developed, conducted, and evaluated to describe and analyze the preventive behaviors of people in the endemic area of Mehran County.
 
Materials & methods: In this study, 92 people having 18+ years living in Mehran Township and referred to health care center No. 1 of Mehran town in 2014 were selected through convenience sampling method. Data gathering was done using a researcher-made questionnaire, which was on the basis of BASNEF model, and its reliability and validity was verified. The completed questionnaires were encoded; their data were entered into SPSS software and analyzed by chi-square, independent t-test and Pearson correlation coefficient.
 
Findings: The relationship between age, gender, marital status, education level, family income, family history of leishmaniasis, and the preventive behaviors of the respondents toward the disease were examined and no significant statistical relationship was found (P>0.05). The results of this study illustrated the importance of subjective norms in this regard. The relationship between subjective norms and variables as enabling factors(r=0.262, P<0.05), behavioral intention (r=0.282, P<0.01), and individual behavior (r=0.216, P<0.05) was statistically significant.
 
Discussion & conclusions: The most prevalent of suitable preventive behavior was relevant to remove the solid wastes in a proper way (91.3%) and least prevalence was relevant to using the mosquito nets while sleeping (5/4%).
