These data were collected as a follow-up and replication of Colby, Ware, and Zuckerman's 'Prevalence of Bulimia Among College Students' (1982-1984) study which surveyed a random sample of college students from Harvard University in 1982. The purpose of the replication was to examine changes in the prevalence of dieting behavior and eating disorder symptoms from 1982 to 1992. The follow-up was designed to assess whether any change in eating behaviors had occurred during the transition to early adulthood.
