Abstract
Previous research by Hyland, Hyland, and Comiskey (2017) has highlighted the experiences of primary schoolchildren from lower affluent areas in Ireland with regard to victimisation, depression and health-related quality of life. To date, cross-national comparisons have focused primarily on general primary school children, with negligible specific focus on children from lower affluent areas. This research examined baseline data from less affluent regions of Ireland to similar regions in England.
