“…Mereology constituted a substantial focus of inquiry in classical Western ontological and metaphysical philosophy beginning with the presocratics and continuing with the writings of Plato, Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, and Husserl (Varzi, 2019). More recently, the concept extends to fields as diverse as the natural sciences (te Vrugt, 2021), mathematics (Hovda, 2009; Urbaniak, 2013), and computer science (Eschenbach & Heydrich, 1995; Gerstl & Pribbenow, 1995). Mereological inquiry is concerned with understanding the composition of, and relationship between, the constituent components of a phenomenon.…”

Although qualitative interview studies provide in‐depth understandings of the opinions and lived experiences of social groups, they are typically small in scale, bounded by a small number of physical or virtual spaces, and designed to capture relatively demarcated aspects of participants’ experiences. This paper describes the qualitative component of a large mixed method study of homelessness in California. The qualitative study consisted of seven substudies across eight counties, each exploring different dimensions of homelessness. We recruited participants from the overall sample, a statewide representative sample of adults experiencing homelessness recruited in eight counties, based on their responses to questions from the survey interviews. Using a novel data management strategy, we analyzed each substudy as a stand‐alone project, and explored the relationship between thematic content across the substudies. Our mereological study design presents an approach for developing complex qualitative policy studies across a range of topic areas.
