Healthy Black and Latino heroin users (male and female ages 25-55) are needed for a research study assessing the relationship between heroin use and cellular aging. The study involves a single visit to the New York State Psychiatric Institute, and consists of questionnaires and the collection of a blood sample for genetic testing. The visit will take about 2-3 hours and you'll be compensated $50.
