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'.
