The population in this study were 59 respondents in Ropang sub-district, Sumbawa. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. Bivariate analysis of statistical tests used was logistic regression. Results. There are two variables that have a significant effect on the incidence of malaria, namely knowledge and preventive behavior. The knowledge variable had a significance value of 0.019 (p < 0.05), and an odds ratio value of 0.235. The preventive behavior variable also showed a significant influence on malaria incidence with a significance value of 0.008 (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, the perception variable did not show a significant effect on the incidence of malaria, with a significance value of 0.359 (p> 0.05). Conclusion. The results of this study showed that knowledge and preventive behavior had a significant effect on the incidence of malaria in respondents, while perception did not show a statistically significant relationship.
