Your thesis statement is like a math equation.
Thesis = subtopic 1 + subtopic 2 + subtopic 3
or more specifically for your thesis...

Words you can use to indicate causes: factor, basis, reason, source, root, origin
Words you can use to indicate an effect: result, consequence, impact, outcome, upshot, resulting symptoms, etc...
Sample thesis:
