Imperioso, trascendental, primordial, priemro, decisivo, predominante

Yo usaría imperioso en este caso, juzgando por el poco contexto que nos das.
Suerte!
Peer comment(s):

neutral Refugio : In the phrase 'overriding concern', it is not that her concerns override other people's concerns, but that one concern of hers overrides all her other concerns. Predominante is good, though, and better than 'dominante'.

Thank you, Ruth! This is why I love ProZ. Having the chance to learn from native English speakers is the best thing that's happened to me this year. I hope nothing will ever prevent us from being in contact. Merry Christmas!
