[The new version of the French teratology information service "CRAT" website]

Abstract

The Centre de Référence sur les Agents Tératogènes (CRAT) is a unique French national reference center involved in the risk assessment of exogenous agents (mainly drugs, but also medical imaging and addictions) on pregnancy, breastfeeding and fertility. To help improve patient care, CRAT makes its expertise available to healthcare professionals via its website (www.lecrat.fr), a free, independent and public online resource regularly updated by its multidisciplinary team. In December 2023, a new version was launched, based on the evolutions desired by the CRAT team and on a satisfaction survey of website's users. A predictive search bar integrated into the home page now enables users to find the specific information they are looking for more quickly. To optimize the access via smartphones, a mobile version is now available.
