Yes, of course! "Effect" is usually used as a noun to mean result, consequence, or outcome! It is similar in meaning to the verb "affect," which means to change, influence, or impact something or someone. Ex: It can affect your digestive and overall health. = It can have an effect on your digestive and overall health. Ex: This policy will affect many people. = This policy will have an effect on many people.
