This research explores the relationship between social comparisons and health and wellbeing as a possible explanation for health inequalities. The main aim of this study was to investigate the scope and nature of social comparisons amongst people living in proximal socio-economically contrasting neighbourhoods, their perceptions of class and inequality and how this might impact on health and wellbeing. In-depth interviewing was the main methodology, supplemented with media analysis and participant observation in order to gain an understanding of the study areas.</abstract>
