我们报告了对进入佛罗里达州希尔斯堡县青少年评估中心的高风险青少年进行分类和评估的结果，该中心在运营的前8个月里处理了2000多名青少年。通过问题导向青少年筛查工具对青少年潜在问题进行聚类分析，确定了四个群体。鉴别分析和累犯信息支持了类型学的有效性。讨论了这些结果的研究意义。
We report the results of developing and evaluating a classification of high risk youth entering a Juvenile Assessment Center in Hillsborough County, Florida, involving over 2,000 youths processed at the center during its first 8 months of operation. Cluster analysis of the youths' potential problems probed by the Problem Oriented Screening Instrument for Teenagers defined four groups. The usefulness of the typology was supported by a discriminant analysis and by recidivism information. The research implications of these results are discussed.
